Instructor
Roshan Thiran is the Founder and Kuli of Leaderonomics, but in this course, he’s your guide through the messy, real world of leadership where the “right” answer is often two opposing things at once. With decades of experience leading across GE, J&J, and building multiple ventures, Roshan doesn’t deal in theory—he unpacks the hard-earned lessons of leading through uncertainty, tension, and change. If you’ve ever felt the pull between being decisive yet compassionate, driving results yet caring for people, this course will stretch how you think, challenge how you lead, and equip you to thrive in the paradoxes every great leader must learn to navigate.
