Dare to Lead: The Transformation of Bank of Baroda (Response Books) ReviewAfter reading this page turner of 400-odd pages, I happened to endorse it to a group of friends over the next scotch-n-cigars sunday. "yawn" was one reaction..."what happened to our liar's poker mate here?" was another. "you really parked over the weekend and read 400 pages of public sector stuff?!" was the general message. That summarizes it - when we think PSU, we think of middle-aged uncles sitting in government-promoted monopolies, sipping chai with samosas and deciding on the date for the next meeting, right?
If you think that way, that is precisely why you should read this book. As far as management books in India go, it reads at a blistering pace and as far as accounts of CEOs go, this one is a riot. Count the number of times while reading the book when you will be forced to role-play and wonder what you would have done if you found yourself in Anil Khandelwal's shoes. Unlike most other books on management, it hardly talks strategy and macro-isms...this is a story from the battlefield, of how things really get done. Management of large companies requires tremendous ability to empathize, connect, negotiate and to use one's smarts in a sustained, constructive manner. I should have studied these stories as case studies when I was in business school - but ended up reading it at an airport.
Anil Khandelwal is a man of courage and pluck - one who could call a spade when he saw one, and more importantly, channelized his natural instinct for change in a manner few around him could fathom. The book is in the form of episodes and hence is paced well - Khandelwal has an eye for the dramatic and the book does not miss out on action. It takes you a lot of places in 400 pages - from Meerut to Calcutta to Mumbai to Africa, from the trenches to the board room, from positions of sheer helplessness to positions of tremendous power. You surely are going to turn out wiser or enthralled after reading "Dare to Lead" - in my case, it was both.Dare to Lead: The Transformation of Bank of Baroda (Response Books) Overview
