Abdul Kalam at PwC London
On 10th June, PwC India Business Centre hosted a dinner with Dr. Abdul Kalam, a highly respected politician and visionary in India and around the world.
Introduced by PwC’s Chairman Kieran Poynter, Dr. Kalam was happy to acknowledge the growing realisation in the UK of the immense business opportunities in India. His speech, entitled 'Dynamics of Indian Economy' addressed the India Vision 2020 and India's journey to becoming a developed nation. He also recounted his experience in setting up a Pan African e-Network that connects 53 African states to address communication, healthcare and education needs which has evolved into his vision of a World Knowledge Platform.
He finished by defining key attributes of a creative leader, based on his experience, saying among other things that a leader must work with integrity and succeeds with integrity.

I found the most useful part in the conclusion:
"My study indicates that the creative leadership is the most important component for attaining success in all missions. I would like to define based on my experiences:
- Leader must have the vision.
- Leader must have a passion to transform the vision into action.
- Leader must be able to travel into an unexplored path.
- Leader must know how to manage a success and failure.
- Leader must have the courage to take decisions.
- Leader should have Nobility in management.
- Every action of the leader should be transparent.
- Leader must work with integrity and succeed with integrity."
Good place to work... PwC!!
