The Rohit Gautam Show
Business. Leadership. The Human Mind.
I am Rohit Gautam. Leadership coach, podcast host, and someone who has spent years studying what separates good leaders from great ones.
This channel explores three things:
1. How businesses actually grow, compete, and fail
2. How the best leaders think, decide, and operate under pressure
3. The psychology behind why smart people do what they do
Two formats:
Solo episodes (10-15 min): I take one idea and break it down. No filler. Just the insight and what you can do with it.
Conversations (30-45 min): Deep interviews with founders, executives, coaches, and psychologists who have built something real.

Why Most Leaders Secretly Want a Team That Agrees With Them
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the very thing making leaders successful is also the thing destroying them? In this powerful conversation, leadership coach Janet Jones shares 30 years of wisdom from coaching nearly 100 top executives across the globe — including Unilever India. We dive into ego, burnout, psychological safety, the lies leaders tell themselves, and why the best leaders are the ones willing to look inside.
If you're a leader, aspiring leader, or someone navigating a tough boss — this episode is for you.
