Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

Well Said Mr JRD Tata

I was travelling last afternoon with my CEO , Giri and Our Director , Mr Nagraj from brigade road to our BTM office after meeting the auditor when Chief recounted a incident from jRD Tata ’s life. thsi was in the context of leaders and the “Clarity OF Thought” that they have apart from atrsong set of values.
This apparently was a meeting where the accountant and the finance team where discussing a move of the company in terms of export or some transaction where under the Indian law , they were trying to convince JRD Tata that they had not done anything wrong. After listening to them , JRD Tata paraphrased the conversation and stumped them by saying - ” I understand that we have not done anything wrong , whats more important to me : Is what we have done right ”
For JRD Tata , the value was not about being in the Grey area of not being wrong but in being Right under the law of the land - Its as they say you cant be slightly honest or not dishonest — It comes down to
You are HONEST or DISHONEST :) - when i heard the one liner of JRD being recounted : in true reflex action
all i could think was “Oh JRD Uncle , Sahi Bolta Tu”
