Wings of Fire !!

This autobiography clearly shows that Dr.Kalam is a level 5 leader. He tasted success only after numerous failures.It does substantiates the words of Jack Welch " If you do not know how to lose , you will never know how to win".

Mr.Bharath , CEO of a manaufacturing company said "What is different is not what is wrong" , the life style of Dr.Kalam substantiates it. When he took responsibility for the failure of SLV-3 , he made himself a great leader. I also believe that Prof.Vikram Sarabhi has played great role in designing the art called Dr.APJ. Finally this art projected india to the world. Another great leader was Prof.Sarabhai. I feel he laid the foundation for everything.He not only laid the foundation,but he identified the right successors for the indian space projects. I feel the whole rocket engineering has got transformed because of these great personalities. The Level 5 leadership defined by Jim Collinsin good to great is superb ! It definitely makes all the difference.

I admired the discipline of Dr.APJ. He is just unbelievable when it comes to passion and truthfulness.He made the right platform for himself to prove.When Dr.Kalam formed his team for Prithvi,Trsihul and Agni , he did concentrate to get the right people and things got executed for him one after the other successfully.

The positive environment and family members motivation had a huge impact on his performance.Dr.APJ forms a great example for a level 5 leader. Not only Dr.APJ , but also Prof.Vikram Sarabhai.

Key take away

The right idea at the right time with a courage to take a decision or chance will make all the difference. Enjoy Reading !!
