Anil Ambani believes firmly in hard work. The passion you should have for your work is the foremost in having a leadership role in any activity.
Everyone in the company looks up to their boss for inspiration, especially since the boss. As a boss, a sense of purpose should always be in your mind. Every day should be treated as a new day at work and the optimism should show. The challenges should be met head on and dealt with the demeanor of one who enjoys doing it.
Trust the Lieutenants
Delegation of power is important. You give a job to some one and if you keep nudging him, he would only be looking behind his shoulder and the work will not get done. Put somebody on a task and let him do the job. On the other hand, if you encourage him, he may come up with some idea that could change the company's fortunes! The sense of passion to build a successful business is to be shared with all those who have anything to do with the business.
Build Relationships
A leader should be able to build relationship with people who could be from any walk of life because he is not to know who will come in handy in what. The relationship built should not be left to wither. It should be nurtured to good health. At the same time, humility should not be lost. And, family and social values should not lost sight of.
Do not Rest
It is quite possible, with such dedication, for you achieve your goal. Should you rest on your laurels? Absolutely not! Raise the bar again and again. Never rest. Work harder than before and lead from front. Let the people behind you emulate you. Let them work even harder than you. You should be brave enough to tread untrodden paths, taking the risks inherent in a particular venture. You may fail sometimes. Who doesn't fail? Should that stop you from moving ahead? No, take it in your stride. Treat it as a learning experience and move on.
Risks are to be taken
The modern times require the ability to marshal the resources and come up with innovative ideas. These ideas should be fueled by the energy that constantly flows from you. Risks are to be taken. You can not grow if timidity stops you from embarking on something new. Boundaries should be crossed and status quo should be discarded. Conventional wisdom is all good but if it stands between you and the growth, you should be able to defy it in the interest of the growth of the company.
Stepping Stone
Your sight should always be the on goal you had set yourself and the hurdles, which will be many, do not have to stand in the way. Adversity is something that faces all successful businessmen. A good leader converts the obstacles into stepping stones and moves up leaving the adversity gaping at him.
