Narayana Murthy Shares Key Leadership Lessons From Ratan Tata's Life

In a heartfelt conversation with India Today’s Rajdeep Sardesai, Infosys founder N.R. Narayana Murthy reflected on the profound leadership lessons he learned from Ratan Tata. Murthy shared that Tata’s ability to transcend financial status, official power, and intelligence in his interactions was one of his most remarkable qualities. Tata treated everyone equally, whether they were industry leaders or common people, always engaging with the same level of respect and humility. Murthy emphasized that this was a rare and exceptional trait, something he had not witnessed in many top leaders globally. In a world where people often create artificial barriers to separate themselves into different social classes or groups, Tata broke those barriers effortlessly. According to Murthy, Ratan Tata’s strength lay in his ability to rise above these divisions, making everyone feel valued. This, Murthy said, is the leadership lesson he learned from Tata—one rooted in genuine humility and compassion.
