Great managers are human beings. They manage things, not people.
In his book Management 21C, Subir Chowdhury writes, ‘The biggest obstacle to launching a successful company is no longer attracting financial capital but attracting intellectual capital.’
‘The successful ventures are truly creative collaborations of talented people committed to beating the odds.’
‘We must move from the head to the heart and go after people’s affection, intuition and desire.’
‘Managers will ‘read’ the future and help proteges prepare for it.’
‘The best managers will have large following because of their expertise, not because of the authority that goes with their position.’
‘Who you have learned from will be just as important as what you have learned.’
‘Learning requires effort on both sides. It cannot be accomplished without creating specific projects which acts as carriers of new learning.’
‘Excellence in leadership development will involve teams that emphasize the importance of both human resources development and business experience.’
‘Leadership development must be viewed as a long-term investment. The payoffs take time.’
‘Those who aspire to lead will understand that their effectiveness begins with their own development and ability to share knowledge in a soluble manner.’
