What is leadership according to JRD TATA.
Answers
Answer:
When talking about India’s greatest leaders, one name just cannot be skipped—J.R.D. TATA. For decades the sole Indian businessman, global leaders had ever heard of, was Tata.
Explanation:
J.R.D. was………
Approachable: - J.R.D. had no problems making friends easily. He had one of the most comfortable personalities that was probably his benchmark of becoming a successful individual.
Realistic: - J.R.D. never plunged into unviable projects, howsoever exciting they might be. He briefly flirted with the idea of making bombers with “Tata Aircraft”—but despite his love for flying, he shot down the project himself when it became clear that there was no money to be made.
Courageous: - J.R.D. had always supported Nehru’s views on socialism. Something that the board of Tata sons did not agree with. But J.R.D. refused to sign the manifesto against socialism. It must have required considerable courage for a 30- something to stand up for views, which differed so widely from those of the old guard.
Aware of a sense of responsibility: - There were opportunities for J.R.D. where he was tempted to joined politics. But he rationalized to himself by concluding that he could do more for the country in business and industry than in politics. He says, “I had no doubt that freedom was on its way. But who knows, I might one day have an opportunity to serve in more useful ways than by going to jail today!”
