3. Leaders of the Past

particular task. All great leaders led people to innovative methodoligies and new ideologies. Masses have
been led by Leaders, who usher their people into a modern world.

responsible for one of the greatest economic and military expansions the world has ever seen. Strategic
planning. His oratory skills, propaganda and planning made him a leader par excellence.

5. Leaders
Successful leaders of organisations need crucial attributes and skill sets, such as:
• A vision of where they are going
• the ability to inspire, motivate and effectively lead those around them
• a cool head in a crisis
These factors require a high level of self awareness and emotional intelligence (EQ).
For senior leaders EQ is more important than IQ.
Successful leaders know themselves, can quickly read situations, chose from an
array of leadership styles and act decisively for optimum impact.
The learning of management theory or process will not alone condition people to
think logically and rationally, or offer a range of responses available for foreseeable
outcomes. A person emotionally unprepared for a crisis may panic and freeze, like
a deer caught in the headlights. Worse, he or she may grab onto a random course
of action for fear of looking indecisive. Even a good strategy is often undermined
by poor communication or the inability to delegate effectively — all failings in
emotional intelligence.

7. Mission Command
Mission Command is a style of military command promoting
decentralised command, freedom and speed of action, and
initiative. Subordinates, understanding the commander's intentions,
their own missions and the context of those missions, are told what
effect they are to achieve and the reason why it needs to be
achieved. They then decide within their delegated freedom of
action how best to achieve their missions. Mission Command is
closely related to civilian management concept of empowerment.
Mission Command is a leadership model that Empowers active
leadership at all levels, not just from the top. It creates an
environment for leadership and initiative to flourish and the need
for clarity of purpose and unambiguous communication.
The principle of Mission Command was followed by Admiral
Horatio Nelson of RN.

World Bank on Canara Bank:
CB has in recent years developed a reputation as a highly innovative aggressively managed and
responsive Bank and this is reflected in its rapid growth of operations. Over the last 5 years
it has outstripped its competitors by a wide margin as measured by virtually all the major
performance indicators.
Best compliment from SBI: We have been annoyed by Canara Bank by its ambitious attitude to
compete with SBI and all this is due to a dynamic and brilliant Chairman.

INDIA’S FASTEST GROWING BANKS
15. Dearth of Leadership in India
1857-The Sepoy Mutiny or The first War of Independence
Despite the limitations and shortcomings of the Nationalists, their effort was laudable as a
patriotic and a progressive step towards attainment of the final objective of Independence
from foreign rule. This failed effort was in a way India's greatest victory, as it was a source of
inspiration for national liberation, which was finally achieved through non-violent means,
under the auspices of a great son and leader of India, Mahatma Gandhi. The additional
ninety years of inter-action under the British prepared India on a path to be a world leader of
the 21st century.
One big question?
We say 1857 was the first war of independence. Were any of our leaders of that time fighting a
war? Anybody who has rudimentary knowledge of the 1857 rising knows that our leaders
fought their own battles and never a war for the nation. On the contrary, the British fought
the war, under one Commander in Chief first George Anson and when he died General Sir
Patrick Grant and then General Colin Campbell. The Indians never ever saw the big picture,
they started a Rising but had no plan or strategy or a leader to lead them to final victory. It
was the dearth of leadership that doomed the Rising. British victory was due to leadership,
strategy and innovative ideas put into practice at the right time and place.
Arthur Moffat Lang, Bengal Engineers describes in his diary records:

massacred at Delhi during the Indian Mutiny. They fought with the intruders before they died
and killed 2.
• Mr. Gupta a Bank Manager with SBP was killed by robbers on duty in Delhi. I had met him
and he was a very nice person and Manager.
• Bhama Shah a Trader and Banker presented all his wealth to Rana Pratap to continue to fight.
How much did our private Bankers contribute to Uttarakhand floods?

20. Feedback -Faculty
Is Business a battle?
If YES then what better place to train than a battlefield.
------------------------------------------------------------
The study of past battles prepares Officers and men alike for situations they might face in
future. These two essays on Delhi and Lucknow in 1857/8 bring out the importance of
Leadership, Strategy and innovative tactics not only for armed forces but for all of us. Seeking
to draw Management Lessons from the Battlefield based on the Assault on Delhi in 1857 is a
novel concept; they merit consideration in detail by Business Groups.
