A fortune 500 multinational, American Company with world wide presence..Pepsico Incorporated..! What takes to be the chairman and CEO of a company like this at the age of 43.! We should ask that to Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi..!
The right qualification? relevant experience? opportunities? luck? learn-ability?
There could have been dozen dozens of candidates awaiting with eligibility.! It takes the guts, will power, people management skills, diplomacy, alertness, knowledge, decision making skills and market sensibility, hard work, innovation, to know how to play the cards well in the game of strategy and more than any thing, it is the perpetual success in proving the net worth of self and that of the decision taken by self.. to grow in an organisation beyond gender, ethnicity, nationality and the like...!
There should be something very special about a person with disadvantages more than the advantages, to reach the infinity! The subtle diplomatic cold wars in proving the other person wrong on the centers of board rooms and corners of cozy restaurants, the differentiations of public and private equations and networking with the 'right' and 'the not so right' kind of 'important' and the imporatant persons, to have the trust of great number of 'weighted' fellow beings in the corporate jungle.. and to rise like a phoenix after being torn into ashes after innumerable corporate battles..with no God father, legacy, back ground, wealth or power..! An enigma...with the speed of thought ...
Even to dream this growth in the corporate career takes a courage..! I have a belief that, those who displayed a courage and attained a good success in building the corporations could not have made it to substantial level in the corporations built by others..! The Narayana Murthy, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Azim Premji..and many others who built those largest corporations in their industry; Could they have convinced the rest and attained to top in the organisations built by others? ... Definitely not all of them..
... The people who live others dream are not alone as special as Indra Nooyi; but they are special, with the way they lead their life differently and made the mark of themselves..!
Raise a toast, take a bow and standing ovation in the name of those achievers!!
Let there be inspiration..!
