Leaders aren't born. They are made. The very essence of their leadership is that they have to have a vision. It is a vision that they articulate clearly and forcefully on every occasion. They are the rare combination of good managers and leaders. Like good managers, they are people who do things right but as leaders, they go a step further and also do the right thing. What sets them apart is that they are ready to sacrifice their security blankets to take risks, to be ready to work harder than anyone around them to make that vision come true. Their success is the direct outcome of their sheer hard work and smart thinking and of hours, days and nights spent to make the success possible. For them, it is a small price to pay for achieving their goal.

Leadership is a framework for seeing inter-relationships rather than things, for seeing patterns of change rather than static "snapshots." It is a set of general principles - distilled over the course of the twentieth century, spanning fields as diverse as the physical and social sciences, engineering, and management. The preceding decades have applied these tools to understand a wide range of corporate, urban, regional, economic, political, ecological, and even psychological systems. Leadership is a capacity to define oneself to others in a way that clarifies and expands a vision of the future. By expanding their visions, they include others in their success. It is not they alone who walk the path of achievement. They change people and things around them.

Corporate leaders play an extremely significant role today, in shaping the economic anatomy of a nation. The industrial economy of any country depends upon their role and performance, be it sustained growth of national income, balancing of international trade or payments, meeting the foreign exchange requirements or mitigating national resource disadvantage, the country banks upon them to attend to such national tasks and challenges. They add colossal value to what the world possesses. They help provide products and services that the world populace so much needs. It is them again who provide work opportunity for the teeming millions. It is because of their contributions mainly, that the most significant barometer known as GDP of a nation, finds a strong poise. Every nation needs such corporate leaders, with both strong and good characteristics. These are the people who will guide the country to the future.
