“Select 100 lions and make a dog as their leader; all the lions
will die like dogs. Select 100 dogs and make a lion as their leader, all dogs
will fight like lions”.
This is a statement I read in Facebook sometime back. Though
it will be a bit exaggerated story (With all due respect to Lions and Dogs);
but it sums up the importance of having a good leadership or having a good
leader to lead us, direct us and do a course correction.
I have seen multiple examples and read about many stories;
where lack of proper leadership has impacted the company’s future. Though it
might be datable; but in current scenario companies like TCS, Cognizant, HCL;
which seems to have a solid leadership seems to be doing better in this time of
crisis where the whole industry seems to be under pressure.
Recently I came to know one of our customers has initiated a
change; the fundamental business processes is being rediscovered. This needs a
great amount of thought processes before you embark such journey. Earlier
leadership didn’t understand the importance of this change and thus never been
able to make any dent. But, change in leader bought in a sea difference and now
I see a huge difference in the mindset of other employees of customers.
This raised a question in my mind. How important this
leadership is?
Simple reason of why some companies are successful and some
are not?
