You may be aware of E. Sreedharan, a man behind in modern metro rail transportation system in India and popularly known as “Metro Man".His contribution as technocrats who modernized the country’s railway transportation to global standards. It could be Konkan rail lines which is known as one of the engineering excellence, or could be a modern metro rail in Delhi. While most of us were skeptical about metro solutions, the success of Delhi metro paved way for metro solutions in more than 20 cities in India.
Under his leadership, Delhi metro lines were completed before the due date and budget. His project management practices are case studies for aspiring project managers and business school students.
On understanding his background, now the leadership insight from him.
Whenever a query asked about his lifetime achievement, everyone expects the answer could be some of his best work, like Konkan, Pamban bridge, or metro line etc. But he used to reply, “The important achievement in my life is I could able to instill the confidence to my engineers that enabled them to work competently”.
According to me, this is a very profound statement on leadership and it is required in every organization that looks for transformation. As a leader of an organization or our team, our primary responsibility is showing the possibilities for the team, instill the confidence and backup them in any circumstances. People come from different background, level of competency and confidence level and leader’s job is to enhance the hope, positivity and confidence in them to deliver the best!.That is leadership.
