LESSONS FROM LEGENDS

India is home to the largest number of US FDA approved pharmaceuticals plants outside the US. The Hero & Bajaj groups are among the world’s largest manufacturers of motorcycles. Other than the US and Japan, India is the only country to indigenously build a super computer. 9 out of 10 diamonds sold in the world are processed in India. Indian pharmaceuticals & auto components are already a force to reckon the global market. It’s such an exciting spectrum - your individual contributions will go a long way in accelerating India’s growth and development.

How thousands of the educated youth of this country grab opportunities and leadership development will go a long way in determining the future of our nation. Unless we are united in a thrust for achievement, what is known as the killer instinct, is forced; India will not achieve its destiny.
-The importance of unity in thought

A leader needs to think future backwards, not the present forwards; he/she must have the clear vision of the future and then plan how to achieve it backwards through full involvement of his/her team.
-Defining leadership

How to do things is more important than what to do, doing things right is more important than doing just the right thing.
- Making choices as a leader

Do not listen to those who say that it is not done that way, do not listen to those who say you are taking a big chance. Most importantly do not listen to yourself when the little voice of fear inside you tells - they are all smarter than you, they are more talented, taller, luckier and so on.
- Overcoming personal barriers to action

Play to win but don’t play dirty. Preserve your values as much as you can. If you avoid lying, cheating or stealing you would not have to remember whom you lied to, how you cheated and what you stole.
- The importance of values
www.greatlakes.edu.in
Stretch your goals. Learn to pick yourself up every time you fall but also learn to constantly raise the bar, stretch more, and stretch even more.
-Learning from failure

Make your vocation your vacation. No one can be effective if they do not enjoy what they are doing. If you are not enjoying your job, either change yourself or change your job.
- The importance of job satisfaction
