In everyday life, in a family Older
members bring wisdom, calm, dependability, and unconditional love that
frame the views of the broader family and shape the future of younger
generations. They impart important lessons like the value of patience and
perseverance. They have lived through challenging times, such as wars, economic
recessions, and personal hardships. Through it all, they have learned the
importance of resilience and maintaining a positive attitude.
At many junctures, these learnings
were preserved in the form of written documents. Written documents have played
an essential role in shaping human history for centuries. From ancient
civilizations to modern societies, the preservation of information through
written records has allowed us to understand and learn from the past.
Written records are the main
source of information about work that has been undertaken, decisions made and
implemented, and incidents that have occurred.
Here is a book offering a record
of learnings from the life of India’s early entrepreneur JAMSETJI TATA.
“JAMSETJI TATA- POWERFUL LEARNINGS
FOR CORPORATE SUCCESS “ - the title of the book itself speaks about
the volume & the quality of the content in the book.
India's entrepreneurial landscape
began flourishing long before independence was attained. Legendary
families Tatas, Birlas, Godrejs, Wadias, Ruias, and Bajajs established
their empires.
In Bombay, Dinshaw Petit and
Jamsetjee Nusserwanjee Tata built huge industrial empires in India.
He is known for his philanthropic activities and
equally being an exponent in the field of business. One such is that - “The factory should give
back as much as it can to the community, which is the driving purpose of the
Tata group.”
The History of Philanthropy -Using
one's wealth and resources to help others was considered a virtue. In
India, the ancient concept of dāna, or the act of giving, continues to be
central to Hindu, Buddhist, and other religious traditions and it is believed
that giving to others will bring good karma.
From about 1880 to his death in
1904, Jamsetji was consumed by what has to be the three great ideas of his
life: setting up an iron and steel company, generating hydroelectric
power, and creating a world-class educational institution that would tutor
Indians in the sciences. Some of the stories in this book contain invaluable
lessons about his persistence.
The eight principles of the Tata
group which this book talks about will appeal greatly to youngsters who belong
to Gen Z and Gen Alpha. This book is for all age groups. The essays
and stories in this book are short and simple, yet deep and powerful.
They will appeal to one and all.
To lead by example means to
guide others through your behavior instead of your words. You intend to inspire
others to copy your behavior. The
priorities you set, the choices you make, and the things you do every day say
it all — and people will take notice.
One such inspiring personality is
JAMSETJI. The author –duo – R. GOPALAKRISHNAN AND HARISH BHAT has made a huge
collection of information and made this book interesting with many a class of
anecdotes.
Do grab a copy of the book and
start reading, takeaways are more than you expect.
