How do you inspire more than 1.1 million people to come together—not because they're paid to, but because they believe in a shared purpose?

Rajneesh Gupta, Global Head of Products & Partnerships / Partner and Managing Director at AlixPartners, experienced exactly that while helping organize the World Culture Festival in Washington, D.C., where volunteers from around the world united to create one of the largest cultural gatherings ever held.

The experience fundamentally changed how he thinks about leadership, motivation, and building teams capable of accomplishing what seems impossible.

In this episode of CEO Tech Live, Rajneesh shares:

• The leadership lesson behind organizing an event attended by 1.1 million people
• Why inspiration consistently outperforms authority and management
• How one painful leadership challenge taught him that how you lead matters just as much as what you accomplish
• Why meditation has become his most valuable professional development tool
• How authenticity creates trust—and trust creates high-performing teams
• The framework he uses to build successful partnerships across global organizations
• Why great leaders help people see they're "building a cathedral," not just "breaking stones"

As organizations race to adopt AI and navigate constant change, Rajneesh believes the leaders who create the biggest impact won't simply manage people.

They'll inspire them with a purpose bigger than themselves.
