Courageous Leadership


Courageous leadership simply means:

·         Conviction that is stronger than any fears.
·         Vision that is clearer than my doubts.
·         Spiritual sensitivity that is louder than popular opinion.
·         Self – esteem that is deeper than self-protection.
·         Appreciation for discipline that is greater than the desire for leisure.
·         Dissatisfaction that is more forceful than the status Quo.
·         Poise that is more unshakeable than panic.
·         Risk taking that is stronger than safety seeking.
·         Right action that are more robust than rationalization.
·         A desire to see potential reached more than to see people appeased.

Leadesrship Lessons


Ajanta Pharma 

Q. Your best teacher in business 

A. The best teacher in business, as in life, is various situations. A company’s CEO has to face unique challenges for which no business school can get him ready. Over the years, I have learnt to analyse a situation, formulate a strategy and implement it correctly to obtain the desired outcome.

Q. One management lesson for young people 

A. One must have a passion for understanding a subject. Often I see youngsters doing what they are being told without understanding the reason. For me, understanding the ‘why’ matters most. When you understand the ‘why’, you can come up with a better solution. If fundamentals and subject knowledge are strong, one can make significant advancements and the journey becomes joyful.

Q. Two essential qualities a leader must have 

A. A leader must be able to see the path forward and should have the ability to build passion among his team members to align them with his vision. And a great leader should be able to make decisions dispassionately, without any bias.
