印度成功的领导者-Ratan Tata

印度成功的领导者-Ratan Tata

 

领导者是指那些在人群中脱颖而出，并发挥巨大作用的人。好的领导者不是天生的。如果一个人有欲望和意志力，就可以成为一个强大且有影响力的领袖。好的领导者都是通过一个永无止境的学习、教育、培训和体验的过程中形成的。领导是一个过程，在这一过程中一个人通过影响其他人来完成一个目标，并以一种特定的方式引导组织更团结更具凝聚力地去做事。诺思豪斯（也曾给出类似的定义 “领导是指一个人通过影响一批人来实现共同的目标的过程”。在执行和领导执行两者中只存在一个区别那就是领导素质。

一个领导者有一幅关于未来走向的清晰愿景和构图，并对怎样才算成功以及如何去实现它有着坚定地把我。但这还不够，领导者也必须将这些宣传到个人并采取行动。杰克韦尔奇，前任主席和通用电气公司的首席执行官说，“好的企业领导人创造一个愿景，并明确有力地表达出这幅愿景，以热情的态度持续地把它完成。”

 

Leader is a one who stands out from the crowd and makes his presence effective. Good leaders are not born. If one has the desire and willpower one can become a powerful and influencing leader. Good leaders are formed through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience (Jago, 1982). Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that result obtained is much more cohesive and coherent. Similar definition is given by Northouse's (2007, p3) -"Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal". Only one quality differs between the skill of performance and skill of leading the performance is the leadership quality.

 

A leader has a clear vision and picture of where to go and have a firm grasp on what success looks like and how to achieve it. But it's not enough leaders must also share it and act upon it. Jack Welch, former chairman and CEO of General Electric Co., said, "Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision and relentlessly drive it to completion."

 

A leader must be able to communicate clearly and passionately his or her vision. A good leader must have the discipline to work towards his or her vision single-mindedly, as well as to direct his or her actions and those of the team toward the goal.

 

According to the Bass' theory one can become a leader pursuing three qualities (Bass, 1990) in which the first two explain about the leadership development for the small number of peoples. The theories can be summarised as follows:-#p#分页标题#e#

 

Trait Theory:-Some personality traits may lead people naturally into leadership roles.

 

Great Events Theory:- A crisis or important event may cause a person to rise and come up with extraordinary leadership qualities in an ordinary person.

 

Transformational or Process Leadership Theory:- People can choose to become leaders and learn leadership skills. It is the most widely accepted theory today and the premise on which this guide is based.

 

One such eminent ethical leader of present India pursuing great and powerful leadership quality in the field of business and management is Ratan Tata.

 

童年-EARLY LIFE

 

Ratan Tata was born in a Parsi family of Mumbai. His parent's names were Soonoo & Naval Hormusji Tata. His parents separated in the mid-1940s, when he was about seven and his younger brother Jimmy was five. Ratan and his brother were raised by their grandmother Lady Navajbai. Ratan is the grandson of the Tata group founder Jamsedji Tata.

在塔塔集团的事业-CAREER AT TATA SONS

 

After completing the graduation Ratan joined the family business and turned down a job offer from IBM, following the advice of J.R.D Tata, in 1962. He initially worked on the shop floor of Tata Steel, shovelling limestone and handling the blast furnace (Chidanand Rajghatta, 2007). In 1971, he was appointed the Director of National Radio and Electronics (Nelco), which was on terrible and serious situation when he came on board. The company was on loss of 40% and barely had 2% share of the consumer electronics market. However, just when he turned it around from 2% to 25% market share, the emergency was declared. A weak economy and labour issues compounded the problem and Nelco was quickly near collapse again. His mindset of adopting risks in business area gained a new stronghold when in 1991 the legendary J.R.D. Tata was replaced by Ratan and this was not only the change of the old guard but also a definite alteration of the leader and the beginning of the new era for the company. As India's second round of economic liberalisation got underway, the Tata's holding company gradually increased its shareholding in group companies like Tisco (now Tata Steel), Telco (now Tata Motors), Tata Chemicals and Tata Tea. Under him Tata Consultancy Services went public and Tata Motors was listed in the New York Stock Exchange.#p#分页标题#e#

拉丹·塔塔对社会的贡献-CONTRIBUTION OF RATAN TATA TOWARDS SOCIETY

 

Ratan Tata has been the first Indian entrepreneur who pioneered and revolutionised the Indian Automobile Industry. One of his most historical and entrepreneurial move was to launch world's cheapest car NANO on Indian road which was also called as 'People's Car'. This is the first small car for rural people costing around Rs 1 lakh. The important reason behind launching NANO is his genuine concern about the Society and his social responsibility. He wants to ensure the safety of million Indian families who are presently riding two wheeler in a group of four or more at a time which is extremely unsafe. He wants to provide them an alternate vehicle which is safe and affordable and that inspired him to launch NANO. In the manufacturing team of NANO all the members were under 35 thus he believed in potential of young India.

Tata has done a lot for the victims of 26/11 which really heart touching for which he definitely owns a salute.

结论-CONCLUSION

 

Tata's business had gone through both good and bad times. He had suffered from much unfair governmental harassment from the Tata Tea case where he was framed by the Assam government to the telecom tangle where he was bullied by an arrogant Dayanidhi Maran. But not once he agreed to pay the bribe. He had always given nearly all of their profits to charity. He had consistently refused to break the law and encourage corruption. When we see Ratan Tata refusing to pay bribes not breaking any ethical values and still raising to a new limits day by day and buying the world's best companies, and reinventing the rules of the car industry then we realise that there is a better way and it's possible to be honest and principled and still beat the rest of the world. He had gained the respect in the eyes of every person in this planet through his work and values.
