J.R.D Tata was an amazing man. I know the line gives you a feeling that I know him personally and I would like to claim that though it isn't true. I happened to read a biography of the great man called "Beyond the Last Blue Mountain". I believe its a must read for all budding managers and prefessionals. There are too many takewayas for you to resist reading.
But what has inspired me is a quote that featured in all leading dailies during his 105th Birthday on the 29th of July. The quotes is as below:
"If I have any merit, it is getting along with individuals, according to their ways and characteristics...At times it involves suppressing yourself. It is painful but necessary... to be a leader you have got to lead human beings with affection"
I am sure if the managers and team leaders of today learn this, the efficiency of their teams would increase manifold.
