– Leadership skills are traits that one adopts from experience, age and knowledge and inherited capabilities or personal characteristics. Leaders could be many but not necessarily all leaders do deliver leadership abilities. Leadership abilities or to term it better, leadership qualities, are so powerful a concept that they can either help one individual along with one association or group or organization flourish significantly, on the other hand, could ruin drastically.
There are many leaders in this industry who have made a mark for not only themselves but for the work they build. One of the greatest leadership of all times, who is fortunately living and has become a living legend in the Indian and global corporate world is the person who would be our topic of discussion today. He wanted to become a politician and wanted to open an orphanage and dreamt this when he never had sufficient money to eat food daily. “I am 5'4" tall. I come from a lower middle class family. I can never become rich in my life and I can never give you any riches. You are beautiful, bright, and intelligent and you can get anyone you want. But will you marry me?” this is what he told his wife when he wanted to propose to her for marriage. “He always owed me money. We used to go for dinner and he would say, I don't have money with me, you pay my share, I will return it to you later. For three years I maintained a book on Murthy's debt to me.. No, he never returned the money and I finally tore it up after my wedding. The amount was a little over Rs 4000. During this interim period Murthy quit his job as research assistant and started his own software business. Now, I had to pay his salary too!” says the proud wife of the living legend (Meenakshi, 2009). We will discuss how he actually became what he are today then, what clicked or worked well for him or we would see it from a different angle and say what he did right. Leaders do not necessarily do the right things always, but they do everything rightly always. "A true leader is one who leads by example and sacrifices more than anyone else, in his or her pursuit of excellence." said by the leader himself Mr.N. R. Narayana Murthy, Chairman, Infosys, our chosen leader for this essay.
