| Growth has no limit - keep revising your vision |
If you make one grand plan and stick to it without
updating it with new inputs, adapting to new forces and adopting
new practices, then it is a recipe for disaster. Remember, a
goal is worth it only if you get there. And growth is life. |
| Leap, look, leap |
There is a saying that there are only three kinds of
people. Those who make things happen. Those who watch things
happen and those who say what happened. Those that belong to the
first category think big, project it with clear vision and then
move with great speed to achieve their goal. |
| Nurture and motivate the youth |
The youth are energetic and brimming with new ideas,
and have talent and a desire to excel. Extend them the support
they need, nurture them. Each one of them has an infinite source
of energy. Create the right environment and they will deliver
with glorious returns on investments. |
| Build competencies |
Holding people hostage to core competencies restricts
them. It is more productive to create competencies around people
and processes to create value. This promotes flexibility,
encourages growth and the value add-on will far exceed anything
a conventional approach can bring. |
| Break out of your orbit |
The world is a series of hierarchically stacked
orbits. To be successful, you have to break out of your orbit
and enter the one above. After a spin in that orbit, you must
break into the next one and so on till you reach the top. |
| Bet on people - 'trust' is a five letter word for success
|
Trust is the most valuable thing and it is also the
most valuable thing that you can give. There is nothing like
partial trust - you either trust completely or not at all. Trust
is the foundation of growth. |
| Reject incremental thinking |
Piecemeal, blinkered and incremental thinking
guarantees slow and stunted growth. True growth can come only
with lateral thinking with multiple options and paths to attain
a goal. Always encourage people to think out - of - the - box.
Ideas are no ones monopoly. |
| Be humble |
Humility in success is the greatest virtue. Realize
that success is a matter of hard work and teamwork - of
employees, shareholders and well-wishers. Never let them down
and always let them feel they are a part of the family. In turn,
they will never let you down. |
| Shun pretence |
A leader is not afraid to say he or she does not know.
There is no equitable distribution of knowledge expertise and
energy. Do what you can do to acquire knowledge and apply it.
Delegate the rest to the best. |
| Detail. Detail. Detail |
God is in the detail. Worship it. There isn't a single
successful individual enterprise or nation that has succeeded
without paying attention to detail. Some will argue and say
'simplify'. I say simplify the process but never forsake detail.
Work with determination and perfection and success will follow.
|
| Achievement is history. Look ahead. |
This is often the most difficult to achieve but the
most crucial for continued success. Any achievement is instant
history; it becomes the past as soon as it is achieved. How you
build on that achievement decides how far you go. |
