Leaderspeak with Ashok Soota
Here is a small Q&A with Ashok Soota, Executive Chairman, MindTree.
The leadership lesson I remember the best
Use the good times to prepare for the bad and the bad times to prepare for the good.
The political leaders I admire the most
Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi.
The business leader I admire the most
Bill Gates.
A book/movie I would recommend on leadership
The Other 90% by Robert K Cooper.
What I think is the difference between a manager and a leader
Leadership is about vision, motivation, empowerment and mentoring. Management is about planning, deciding and executing.
All good managers are good leaders
Should be two sides of a coin but frequently is not.
- As told to Rahul Sachitanand
