After Mahatma Gandhi, Mr. Murthy has inspired me the most

I am immensely influenced by thoughts of Mr. Narayana Murthy. I always find him revolutionary and visionary in his ideas, opinions and philosophy. A true “Thought Leader”.

I have developed my thinking on many of his ideas, and putting some of those in this blog-post.

On leadership qualities - “Integrity, Vision, and Passion”

Leadership is about transformational - big ticket - change 

Attributes of a Leader - “Courage, Character, and Generous”

“Compassionate Capitalism”

“Create Role Models”

“Bring the bad news early and pro-actively to win trust of your investors. I always say, let the bad news take the elevator, good news can take the steps,”

Four precepts of entrepreneurship

1. Idea - Think of an Idea, whose value you can clearly communicate in a simple sentence

2. Market’s readiness - 

3. Diverse team - complimentary set of skills, which are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. And, there should be one leader, only one

4. Deferred gratification - sacrifice today and hopefully succeed tomorrow
