A child looks up to his father.
A nation looks up to their leader.
Great Lakers look up to not one, but over a 100 motivational global thought leaders, in addition to its ensemble set of eminent professors.
Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai, has had the opportunity to host over 100 global thought leaders including the former President of India, Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, the marketing guru Philip Kotler, the Indian business Messiah Ratan Tata,thought leader and consultant Ram Charan to name a few, for their thought provoking, mind kindling speeches.
Since its inception in 2004, Great Lakes has been instrumental in getting people of repute as guest speakers and guest lecturers to get the students thinking in lines of the global environment.
These leaders are people who have acquired mastery over the art of leadership with the science of management. Going by the fine line of distinction that differentiates a leader from a manager, these visionaries can help you understand what it takes to be a leader.
Listening to their words of wisdom would actually get you to the contextual phase of ideologies in the macro level instead of visualizing the utopian micro level conditions inside the classrooms. This will imbibe into the students a charisma to get to the world where things are dynamic.
Getting such experienced people to share their ideas and thoughts could actually change your outlook towards the world. With years of learnedness and experience, they have achieved the potential of simplifying complex things. If you cannot segregate clarity from the junk, it is as good as hunting in the dark.
As an individual and as a manager, we cannot learn everything by experiencing it ourselves.If we did, it would be a dear price to pay. We need to learn from others’ experiences, learning their exemplariness in a way. Being in the game for long, this is what they have to offer and this is what we have to gain.
For creating a business ready leader than a manager, inspirational words, powerful messages and potent emulation of the visionaries is a stepping stone to get to thinking and working towards perfection.
