Story
“I observed families riding on two-wheelers- the father driving the
motorcycle, his young child seated in front of him, his wife seated
behind him holding a little babies. It led me to whether one could
conceive of a safe, affordable, all- weather form of transport for such a
family.”
14. Conclusion
Though there are different models around for leadership, all successful
leaders mostly 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.
