The key to success is not destiny and coincidence, as many believe, but
a well-rounded strategy, managerial excellence and, most importantly,
clear and precise thoughts. These are also the traits that helped Kumar
Mangalam Birla, Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group, expand the business
from a $2 billion group to a whopping $30 billion giant in just about 15
years!
In Think, Lead and Strategize Like Kumar Mangalam Birla, the first of
the Management Lessons from the Masters series, Rajiv Agarwal shows how
the group rose to the top in diverse industries - be it telecom, asset
management, cement or chemicals - under the astute leadership of Mr
Birla. Displaying attention to detail and a deep understanding, the
author uncovers little-known details about one of India's game-changing
and most profitable brands. Lucidly written and sharply argued, this is
a must-listen for anyone who wants to run a successful business and
thrive like an industry giant.
