The Big Question How is Leadership in Central Bank(s) any different from in other organizations? • Contextual Perspective • Structural Perspective • Role Perspective
Central Bank’s evolution over time • First Age : Emphasis On Operations • Predictability, Consistency, Reliability : Effective, • Operate as a bureaucracy ( in its positive sense) • Obsolescence still happened
Central Bank and its evolution over time • Second Age : Emphasis on Policy Functions • Broader Knowledge • More Sophisticated Judgment • Fast Frontline responses that couldn’t wait the tardiness of bureaucracy • Effective oversight of financial institutions beyond perspective rules • Functional and Technological change • Remuneration vs. Cost of Living
Central Bank and its evolution over time • Third Age : Shift from tangible needs to intangible wants • Prescription and intervention to influence and risk management • Information and Communication Technology shape economic models, relationship dynamics and transactions. • “ THOUGHT LEADERSHIP” • Advisory Roles : Globalization, Economic Integration • Permeable internal boundaries that doesn’t jeopardize security and confidentiality. • The Greatest Challenge : MANAGING HUMAN CAPITAL
In the context of Global Financial Crisis • Global Financial Crisis or Global Fundamental Check???? • The NICE time is over • The NASTY time is here • Challenge : Restore confidence, maintain independence and achieve success across a wider and more difficult mandate
Straight From Horse’s Mouth • Central bank an apex institution of the financial system with multiple responsibilities: macroeconomic stability, financial stability, exchange rate and foreign exchange management, etc. • Additional role in developing economies: supporting economic growth, promoting financial development, increasing access to finance. • Has to function in the interconnected world full of volatility and uncertainty. • Demands visionary, efficient and dynamic central bank leadership to navigate the financial markets and the economy in the right direction.
Straight From Horse’s Mouth (Key Components of Central Bank Governance) • Legal & regulatory regime and political governance structure • Strategically defined visions, missions and objectives • Governor's appointment, Board composition & stability • Internal control system & procedures; risk management system • Accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards • Disclosure norms and communication strategy • Institutional capacity‐ human resource, IT, basic physical infrastructure, logistic support system, etc • Leadership ‐ stability, quality and accountability All these encompass the three pillars of central bank governance: independence, accountability and transparency
Two Extremes • The Naked Autocrats • The Subservient Power of Servant Leadership
Ponder for a while • Leadership OR followership • Duplicating best practices is followership Leadership is about or NOT about pleasing people???!!!!!

Now…. Let's • Identify a Challenge • Close your Eyes • Leadership Style?
Take Home………………………………… • Quiet ahead of time… • “ Don’t focus on a good start…. 46% of leaders underperform during the transition phase” • “Are prepared for criticism.. Adulation breeds complacency, criticism provides opportunity to grow”.. • Ego and leadership are impossible duality..
