Modern Management thinkers have proved beyond doubt thatbusiness leaders are not born; but made. They have also expressed
that leadership consists of habits and skills, which are not inherited,
but are acquired through constant practice. Leadership, is
therefore, not a position one has by µdivine right¶. It is the complete
sum of all your efforts. Leaders are made and made by themselves.
People who set out to work in an ambitious and enthusiastic
manner become leaders all the way.
Leadership, is therefore, not a matter of luck, birth, genius or
accident. It is not a matter of favour or chance. It depends largely
and basically on one¶s effort, Preparation, continued endurance and
above all the will and the wish to lead and achieve. It is the result of
continuous effort. Everyone has Leadership potential.
Leaders are not Born, but Made

Views Of Those Who Have Reached The Top
Do not think that other¶s commitment is as strong asyours and do not allow others to override your µgut¶
instinct.
Do something which is intellectually fulfilling and socially
important.
You should try to win the praise of professionals and the
educated.
Apart from maximizing your profit, you should pass to the
next generation to what you have created.
Do not believe that accountancy is an exact discipline and
that what your accountant delivers is fact.

Trust your judgment but if you do not feel confident, then
call on someone else whose judgment you can trust.
Be happy in the work you do. Though there will be times of
frustration yet as long as you give all your best, you will be
able to put down failures to experience. Learn from that
experience.
It needs a lot more than money to run a business. Don¶t
think about starting your own business unless you are
ready to be a workaholic. When you apply for loan, make
sure you ask for enough and add 20 percent and extend by
6 months, the period during which you will make a loss
before you break even.
Don¶t leave a secure job to start a business unless your
family is supportive.

While working make full use of your gifts and experience.
To be at the top means being in charge and having freedom to
make decisions. It means leading, guiding, communicatingand team building.
Leadership entails giving all team members the same sense
of direction.
Start doing early whatever your want to do.
Do not regard outer success as the most important thing in
life. The quality of life matters more.
Piling to days¶ problems on top of tomorrows¶ will eventuallysink your enter prise. Work hard, sleep well, believe in yourself
and don¶t harm others.
There is a price for success and you must be ready to accept
the responsibility which comes with its privileges.

Manage you time properly.
Believe in yourself and your own personal and
professional integrity.

prepared to accept the fact that to get the job done one
has to be pragmatic.

Customer is the King
o A customer is the most important Visitor on our premises.

o He is not interrupting our Work! He is the pur pose of
it.
o He is not an outsider to our business. He is a part of it.
o We are not doing him a favour by serving him. He is
doing us a favour by giving us an opportunity to do so.
