Management Lessons from the Masters

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.
