Kalam's principles of Leadership...

Dear Friends, Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar the Ex-DG of CSIR ( Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) and Dr.Vijay Bhatkar ( Ex- Director of C-DAC Pune and the man who was behind the making of India's 1st Super Computer PARAM ) were guests on a TV Channel talking about many dimensions of the life of Dr.kalam. Dr.Mashelkar said in his opinion Dr.Kalam followed 3 important principles which contributed a lot to his splendid success...Passion, Innovation and Compassion. Scientific temperament was very much the capability of Dr. Kalam, his passion for Science and Teaching ( he wanted to be a teacher besides his scientific temperament and after his retirement he pursued the same as his career till death). Innovation but obviously was his nature his passion for learning new things could fetch him the responsibility of leading India's Integrated Missile Program as his boss Mr.Tipnis said. Many developments in SLV ( Satellite launching Vehicle) programs could be contributed to his innovative abilities only. His innovative nature reflects into his Vision for a Super Power India, in his book Vision 2020he has written deeply about many fronts whereby India as country can rise to be the Super Power. He liked reading, writing, teaching, research, music etc. also shows Innovation was his nature. Compassion, humility was grounded within him till the last moment , when asked about, which achievement in his life made him more happy, he said it was the reduction of weight of the Calipers which are used by Physically handicap people. made him more happy was his answer...while going to his last lecture in IIM-Shilong he could see the guard Lavang standing for 4 hours, he has instructed his Security to ask him seat when it could not happen due to communication problem he called the guard and asked him whether he needs some rest, whether he is hungry and then started the lecture. For sure every Leadership and every individual looking for more in life in a meaningful way can replicate these principle Dr. Kalam followed in his successful life.
