Re: [MTC Global] Leadership in Management Institute

I fully endorse the views of Mr. Kumaraguru who rightly said the Leadership Quality is 60% Inherent,I will put it 75% inherent,the rest depends on the keen observation by keeping our mind open and listen then analyse  and arrive at the right solution.The typical example as he pointed out is Dr. V.Krishnamurthy an icon of Modern Management.

Dear SP,

Thank you very much. I do appreciate your unflinching interest as much as your concerns for B Schools and their leadership.

Thankfully, there is so much of talk about the role and kind of Directors. Hope all this gets on to action and some positive changes.

Let me take bit of time, hopefully to write about our own experience of making an institute.

Hope you are doing fine otherwise.

Warm regards,

Dear Friends:

I have been reading with interest the different view points and frustrations about Leadership in management institutes.

With over 1000 management institutes, let us admit that we will not be able to get ideal leaders as we need too many. Leadership is a function of our social upbringing and character. I find that as a society we prone to mediocrity, jealousy, disinclination towards learning, curiosity, hard work etc. We tend to be lazy and lack a spirit of creativity and innovativeness. We also tend to indulge too much in back-biting, organizational politics and back-biting. We also suffer too much with inferiority complex.

Since we may not always get an ideal leader, we will have to work together with the best that is available in the circumstances. This goes not only in management institutes but all kinds of institutions, organizations, departments, societies, etc.

I would like to give some examples of good (perhaps) excellent leaders. Ravi Mathai, the first Director of IIM Ahmedabad was only a BA(Oxon). He was not a PhD. In the beginning IIM Calcutta had better qualified faculty than IIM Ahmedabad. IIMC slowly fell behind. Ravi instituted the policy of a Director doing only one term of 5 years and then becoming an ordinary Faculty member, thereby diluting the hierarchical status of a Director. He was able to turn ordinary faculty members into excellent teachers. IN MY VIEW, HAD RAVI MATHAI FAILED, MANAGEMENT EDUCATION IN INDIA WOULD HAVE FAILED. Ravi, later was instrumental in starting Institute of Rural Management at Anand together with his cousin, Dr Verghese Kurien. Ravi, thus was an institution builder. He had industry experience, having worked with Macneil and Barry in the Marketing function.

Dr K S Basu, the first Director of Baja Institute at Bombay was the Personnel Director of Hindustan Lever. He was not an MBA or PhD but an MBBS doctor, who did excellent work --
