  • Day 19 | 21 Gifts of Leadership: A Festive Journey Today, we’re reflecting on the inspiring journey of Pooja Ghai, 2021 Clore Fellow, who wrote the piece ‘The Clore Fellowship has taught me how… to be the best leader I can be.’ Pooja shares how her Fellowship journey transformed her leadership path—from starting as a freelancer to becoming the Artistic Director of Tamasha Theatre Company. The Clore Fellowship has not only provided Pooja with a leadership toolkit but has also inspired lasting bonds and collaborations. "If there is one piece of advice I can give – build a strong network of people around you who will be honest, who will keep you accountable. Do the work on yourself, find the compassion, generosity and integrity that lies within you – and work with that." https://lnkd.in/eSRKHkzG #21GiftsofLeadership #CloreLeadership #CulturalLeadership #LeadershipJourney

There is a fluidity in the arts, but that’s not always reflected in rigid management structures.” Dhruti’s thoughts emphasise the need for inclusivity and adaptability in leadership, inspiring us to rethink traditional structures and champion diversity in the cultural sector.
