capitalist in
mind, a
socialist at
heart."

business, you have to be
able to pick entrepreneurs
very early and get them
embedded into the
business. They need to go
out into the ecosystem,
demonstrate their
abilities, nurture the
business and build it up.”

responsibilities even if they
are only 60 per cent ready.
Our experience is that
people are pretty elastic
when you give them
responsibility, and they just
grow rapidly with the job."

5. “Everyone
experiences tough
times, it is a
measure of your
determination and
dedication how you
deal with them and
how you can come
through them.”

need two attributes:
the environment and
training. Equally
important is
recognition of the
fact that this is an
opportunity and one
has to grab it.”

extraordinary
performance in your
journey to being a good
leader and prove your
managerial capability,
organizations don't
throw you up into
leadership positions."

8. “Your most unhappy
customers are your
greatest source of
learning.”

teacher. It seduces
smart people into
thinking they can't
lose.”

being before I
became a
businessman.”

success, it lies in the ability to
get the other person's point of
view and see things from that
person's angle as well as from
your own.”

bad one.”

has done all of his or
her homework.”

more you sweat,
the luckier you
get.”

you're rich. The

when you're
poor.”

in terms of their personalities,
attitudes, values, strengths, and
weaknesses.”
“Executives owe it to the
organisation and to their fellow
workers not to tolerate
nonperforming individuals in
important jobs.”

16. “The future may be made
up of many factors but
where it truly lies is in
the hearts and minds of
men. Your dedication
should not be confined
for your own gain, but
unleashes your passion
for our beloved country
as well as for the
integrity and humanity of
mankind.”
