14. Leadership
Leadership according to some famous people:
John Harvey Jones ―Getting extraordinary performance out of
ordinary people‖.
 Napoleon ― Dealing in hope‖
Leader has a bigger, higher purpose for you and your organization that
expresses responsiveness to community
It requires a Knowledge-base and Expertise which few have, but can be
developed with effort and dedication.
 Leadership is a result of:
(a) Strong Will-Power
(b) Hard work.
(c) Vision-example of his futuristic vision is Nano. ―What drove me — a
man on a two-wheeler with a child standing in front, his wife sitting
behind, add to that the wet roads — was a family in potential danger,‖
said Ratan Tata, while explaining why he went for the Nano.

Tata has been credited with transforming the Tata group
into a streamlined conglomerate of more than 100
companies and earning a global reputation for his

have to say
 Ratan Tata is leaving behind "lessons enough for ages" after leading
the Tata group for over two decades, Infosys cofounder N R
Narayana Murthy said. The legacy of Tata, who retires as chairman
of the group on Friday, is not just about the numbers but also the
manner in which he has grown the business with a strong
underpinning of values, he said. Murthy, the prime mover behind the
growth of Infosys into a $7 billion (Rs 38,000 crore) software
exporter, told ET NOW's Chandra R. Srikanth in an interview that
the governments in New Delhi and Mumbai should seek Tata's counsel
on accelerating economic reforms

22. conclusion
 Though there are different models around
leadership, mostly all successful leaders do three things.
One, with a vision and purpose, add value and create a
new possibility. Two, build next-in-line leaders and
leadership pipeline. Three, be a role model, authentic and
self-aware. Ratan Tata is an ideal example of a leader
demonstrating all these three things.
