I am Commander (Dr). M. Srinivas Rao (Retd), a veteran of the Indian Navy, and a Physicist, an Independent Researcher and an author, with over 45 years of experience -in the fields of education, training and management-both in and out of navy.
My research studies have established unequivocally that “All Are Not Born Leaders.” A determined and committed person with a certain personality disposition can emerge as a successful people’s leader if he puts in sustained best efforts to undergo a well-designed leadership training programme.
I have published 4 research papers in the domain of Political Leadership and Organizational Behavior and authored 2 books titled:
1). Secret of Resilient Interpersonal Relationships-Unfolding through Gandhian Thought (2022); ISBN: 978-93-92256-07-3 and
2). All are Not Born Leaders-Developing Political Leadership for Indian Democracy (2024); ISBN: 978-93-6261-6104.
I am the Solo Proprietor of ZEETA LEADERSHIP and the Founder- Principal Consultant and Leadership Coach. I firmly believe that true justice for the citizen is only possible through a Strong Federal Union, where the States possess the Political Dignity and Fiscal Autonomy to thrive. Thus, my work is driven by a singular commitment to the 5 Pillars of the Indian Constitution—Sovereignty, Socialism, Secularism, Federalism and Democracy.
As a Chief Architect & Lead Trainer, I have designed and developed a Blended Model for developing political leadership of a party which seeks to provide good governance through political power. This model is designed to Develop Self-Reliant Political Leadership of with select political parties that are aligned with political philosophy of the Zeta Leadership and have declared policy of Driving Economic Justice & Championing Federalism.
