My leadership style

The leadership lesson I remember best
"Be fiscally conservative so that you can be creatively reckless" a quote by Peter Chernin that has inspired me.

The business leader I admire the most
Andy Grove, Steve Jobs, Craig McCaw—legends for creating business history!

The political leader I admire the most
Indian leaders: Rajesh Pilot, Rajiv Gandhi, L.K. Advani.

Global leaders: Nelson Mandela, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Barack Obama.

A book or movie I would recommend on leadership
Only the Paranoid Survive by Andy Grove; iCon—The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business, story of Steve Jobs; Money Out of Thin Air, story of Craig McCaw.

The difference between a manager and leader
Leaders are usually the managers who walk the extra mile and go the extra distance to dream and lead a team to execute.

All good managers are not good leaders
Very few managers are good leaders—especially in India! The culture of initiative and going the extra mile is still the exception rather than the rule.
