- Envisioning an empowered nation – Abdul
Kalam with Sivathanu Pillai
This
is the last by Kalam and it gives a very clear picture of what should be
done in each sectors of India. India as a country is very diverse
and only the knowledge based economy will help India to become a developed nation.
This books talks about agriculture, healthcare, information and
communication, critical sectors, biotechnology sectors. He explains clearly
what is been done in each and every sector and gives a proposal of what should
be done in each sector. This is a very nice book to understand India’s economy in a very top
level.
- Count your chickens before
they hatch – Arindham Chaudhuri
This is one of the best selling books in India. This book consists of two
major sections. The first section is more of a ‘Self
development’ stuff where the author talks about the ASK paradigm
(Attitude, Skill and Knowledge) in order to raise any individual. The
second sections talks about the theory ‘I’ management. The
‘I’ stands for ‘India Centric’ management. Particularly
I liked the second section where the author mentions that the management
policies in any country should be based on the social architecture. He
compared the western and Japanese management and gives a proposal for India for which is quotes lots of
examples from Mahabharata.
- Straight
from the gut – Jack Welch
This is autobiography of Jack Welch one of the very
well known CEOs of the world. He talks about how he became the CEO of
General Electric (GE) and talks some thing about his personal things as
well. Things like “Profit, Sell or close” policy, which he
applied to each and every divisions of GE, “Churning bottom 15%
people” which he applied when we wanted to downsize a particular
business is simply revolutionary. One simple lesson, which at least I
learned from this book, is neither the organization nor the technology,
will give lifetime employment for anybody in any hi-tech industry. Only
working in a focused way for the customer will give that.
