M Narendra, CMD, Indian Overseas Bank

Last book that I liked…  “In Search of Change Maestros” .

Last bold business move that worked in my favour…  On joining Indian Overseas Bank, setting a target for the business growth much higher than the one earlier budgeted. The Team IOB was able to pick up the message, worked hard and ensured to surpass the revised target.

My team is for me…  is the vehicle to success.  The team’s excellence ensures the organisation’s excellence

The business leader I admire the most…  Shri N.R. Narayana Murthy, the founder of Infosys.

My view on taking the risks…  Risk is in an inherent part of any business.  Without taking risks, there is no growth.  Well-assessed risks taken with a right measure of risk mitigation techniques will support growth.

I find inspiration from…  Setting up tall targets and achieving them

I take failure as…  Learning experience for future success.

Message for my team…  There can’t be a bigger mistake than underestimating one’s own potential.  Aim big; strive hard and success is bound to follow.
