Sharing his views on what leadership and sustainability mean in the true sense, R Gopalakrishna, executive director, Tata Sons Ltd, said, "A company's culture is more of biology than physics and chemistry. We need to purify the soul constantly to produce something sustainable and long-lasting. We need to ensure that we are ecologically adaptive, encourage entrepreneurship, and that there is a high degree of care for human beings and their dignity and also a fair degree of financial prudence." | |
| Gopalakrishna was speaking at the session on 'Achieving and sustaining high-performance' organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on Saturday. |
| |
| R Seshasayee, managing director, Ashok Leyland, said, "India today is in a stage of transition wherein there are sparks of big achievements. We need to just realise that innovation is the keyword for sustaining these achievements." |
| |
| He added, "Also celebrating mistakes while trying to improve on them is something that we need to work on." |
| |
| Emphasising on highlighting the role of people in an organisation's success rather than assets, Vivek Gupta, managing director, A T Kearney India, said that assets are something that can be bought so the focus should be on developing the right management team. |
