Ravi Chaturvedi, President, North-East Asia, P&G, Addresses JBIMS Students

Going further he put forth the ability of turning scarcity into resources as an important determinant of successful leadership and put it as 'Do more with less'. An important point that he said he has learnt through experience is building a diverse, local

organization for sustainable growth of business. The emphasis, thus, should be on promoting diversity and developing local talent.

Finally, in his last belief he laid down the qualities of great global leaders as Caring & Demanding; Chaos & Order; Change & Minimal Disruption; Passion & Reflection; Head & Heart; Lofty Vision, Game Changing Strategies and Attention to Executional Detail, Deep Pride in Accomplishments and Deep Dissatisfaction with the Status Quo, Humility & Self-confidence. "I am not better than anyone and no one is better than me," according to him, are the other qualities.

After this, he introduced the audience to the knowledge-based leadership model and talked about its various aspects. With this, he ended his presentation and threw the floor open for question. While answering question too, he touched upon many aspects of leadership. The interesting part of the session was when he talked with his experiences ranging from facing the ground realities as a young MBA in rural Madhya Pradesh driving a sales van to leading P&G successfully in times of economic crisis in Thailand. Especially, the experience in Thailand, he said, was one from which he learnt a lot.

The interaction went on for a long time and ended with future corporate leaders being groomed on how they can be successful. The session ended with the students and faculty at JBIMS expressing their heart-felt gratitude to Mr. Chaturvedi.

Concluded.
