TEQM
Leadership Practice.
The TEQM Leadership Practice works with the deeper conditions that shape how people perceive, decide, relate, lead, and respond under complexity. Through a proprietary developmental model, we offer assessments, executive coaching, developmental pathways, and organisational interventions designed to make human development visible, actionable, and sustainable.
Our work operates at the level from which behaviour, leadership, judgment, and performance naturally emerge, allowing meaningful change to take root with greater coherence and stability.
Who we are.
Dakshaka
Dakshaka is a leadership and transformation practitioner with over 30 years of experience across corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and systemic change. An alumnus of the Indian School of Business (ISB), specialising in Leadership and Change Management, he has spent over a decade engaged in deep developmental inquiry at the Isha Yoga Center.
His work focuses on the intersection of organisational dynamics and inner sciences — helping leaders navigate complexity through inner alignment and emergent qualities.
Kedar Lele
Kedar Lele is President, India Subcontinent at Haleon and a member of the Haleon Executive Team, the company's global leadership body. He has over 25 years of leadership experience, including two decades at Unilever, where he served as Executive Director of HUL.
An ISB and MICA alumnus, Kedar has been recognised by the Economic Times as a "40 under 40" leader. His leadership philosophy is rooted in his purpose: "To unleash the hidden potential that brings success and happiness to people, business, and society."
Executive Coaching
We offer a small number of deeply personalised coaching engagements at any time, designed for mid and senior career professionals ready for serious developmental work.
Each engagement is held by two coaches, a structure that is rare in executive coaching and central to the depth of the work.
Dakshaka, whose work sits at the intersection of developmental science and inner inquiry, and Kedar Lele, who brings the perspective of two decades leading large, complex organisations, offer distinct yet deeply complementary orientations to development and leadership.
Together, the engagement holds both the inner architecture of development and the lived realities of organisational leadership, allowing the work to remain both deeply reflective and practically grounded.
If you are navigating a significant transition, carrying questions your current success no longer resolves, or sensing the need for a more foundational shift in how you lead, decide, or relate, write to Dakshaka.
Share where you are in your career, the transition or challenge you are navigating, and what you hope to explore through the engagement.
What we offer.
Our engagements span a growing range of developmental contexts, from early-career development and leadership assessment to executive coaching, workshops, and organisational development. Each engagement is grounded in TEQM's developmental architecture and shaped around the specific context, challenges, and developmental readiness of the individuals and organisations it serves.
