Leaderspeak with Som Mittal
Here is a small Q&A with Som Mittal, President, NASSCOM.
My leadership style
To be a coach, have people raise their own bar and create an apolitical organisation
The leadership lesson
I remember the best You are first responsible to no one but yourself
The political leader
I admire the most Rajiv Gandhi
The business leader
I admire the most Jack Welch
A book/movie
I would recommend on leadership The Art of War by Sun Tzu
What I think is the difference between a manager and a leader
To be successful, you interchangeably play the two roles
All good managers are good leaders
Yes. The reverse is also true. A good manager will not be an effective leader if he does not evolve his leadership skills
