Why do people make it to where they are ...

It is highly improbable that new hires at any company get to meet their business unit heads within three weeks for a round table discussion. I had the rare privilege of meeting my head Mr. BH today. The man seems to be very very competent.

What struck me the most about the man is his simplicity in appearance and his firm attitude. He seems to be gauging the inherent potential that could be used to launch the business unit towards greater achievements.

One of the complaints that John Whitney seemed to have about TII was that we Indians seemed to miss out on the big picture. We are so preoccupied with the smaller issues we tend to overlook the big picture which is just as important.

Mr BH seems to be in tune with the big picture besides being in touch with the lower echelons of his staff. I hope to prosper under his leadership and the mentorship of my team.

We probably need more visionary leaders like MR. BH
