and the major influences that have shaped your personality?
“A man’s real life begins with a big failure”
Whatever we do, we need courage. Whatever course we

decide upon, there is always someone to tell us we are wrong.
There are always difficulties arise which tempt us to believe that
our critics are right. If we know that we are on the right track then
nobody can turn you off regardless of what they say. To map out a
course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the
same courage which a soldier needs.
Quitting Business School
Quitting Business School Is the toughest decision I ever made. I

can declare this as my life changing decision. The motive for this
decision came from “decision making and written analysis of cases”
classes led by the legendary professor Julio Sergio Ramirez of INCAE
Business School. I enrolled in the program with the intention of getting
my MBA degree from a world class business school but I questioned
repeatedly my inner self “Am I clear with my goal?”; “Am I in the right
place?” on fifth week I got glare idea of quitting the program but my
family members and friends surprised and not able to digest my
decision. Every one insisted me via phone calls and e-mails that I have
to continue the program. In this tough time no one supported in this
world except my inner self. I was in dilemma for about two weeks with
sleepless painful nights. At last my heart answered me, “A Mango tree
can not grow on the sea shore”. Finally I quit the program on October
2006 without un clarified future goal but I am very clear that I am not
in the right place.

Lessons from Costa Rica
During my two month tenure at INCAE Business of Costa Rica in

2006, in the first week of group meetings with my friends I try to show
them that I am the smartest. I experienced the result of my gestures
and actions from second week, I am loosing my friends. Then I
realized If try show how smart I am, I will loose my people. I have to
convince my friends that how much I love subject, how much healthy
spirit I have created and what powerful process I used to deliver my
message to convey in all of the meetings rather than how smart I am.
This incident driven me to search for the great qualities of great
leaders.
I learned a lot by different means how great leaders deal with

people. Some of them are as follows.
People of any organization divide themselves in to three groups.

Stars (15%), low performers(10%) and Solid citizens(75%).Star
performers fill up their time during the day and low performers worry
during night. Solid citizens considered as heart of the organization.
Most of the leaders focus on stars of the organization and ignore the
heart and soul of the organization. Over the time solid citizens become
low performers, then most of the leaders face management problems.
Great leaders never forget the heart and soul of the organization.
Great leaders create safe environment for their people to take

risks, they never humiliate their people they stick with them until they
go that role and tell that person be that person. Great leaders know, if
they humiliate their people they never interested in learning but
interested in survival. Great leaders know their people. They are
believable.

Just like all ambiguous behavior is interpreted negatively, there
is always a constant gravitational pull towards people that they left
out. That is human condition. We can see it with star players or low
performers, every one saw looking where they are left out. This is
called inclusionary dimension, means “am I in the club or out of the
club?” that’s what every one worry about that am I in or out?, Great
leader’s goal as soon as possible they have to convince all their people
that they are in the club.
As a leader
I took the first major initiative as a leader in reviving the lost

relationship between S.V.Agricultural College and its alumni with the
purpose of gathering support for the college to conduct Farmer
Training Camp. As a coordinator of Association of Agricos the
relationship with the alumni and the success of the initiative gave me
courage to take the farmer training camps conducted by S.V.Agcollege
in association with Andhra Pradesh state government at district level.
Especially over the last one year, I have successfully

demonstrated leadership skills which I learned by different means. I
led one of my toughest assignments for our marketing team where I
pioneered with a new brand Hyphene with innovative marketing
campaigns despite the aggressive opposition from market rivals;
achieved 85% products exceeded our initial sales expectations.
Hyphene is a powered form of insecticide works greatly against sap
sucking pests on wide range of crops. Through village level exhibitions,
farm and home visits we gained the confidence of the farmers, which
developed a platform for us in the market. This platform is critical to
success for long-term positive impacts. Without such a strategy,
products will move in to the market and move out just as quickly.
They create significant value and consistently generate higher returns.

Effective brand management benefits all stakeholders: customers,
shareholders and employees. What I believed about our product gave
high returns for our farmers after harvests. By this accomplishment we
spread our root deep not only in the market but also in the hearts of
our farmers.
As a Visionary
If we can see change as an opportunity then there‘s always an

opportunity to make a difference. There is always a chance to refine
something, to look at something in a new light. If we have this inner
knowledge that opportunity ignites our gut feeling. It leads to build a
vision with a completely new idea that re-defines the subject.
On my way to India, on Nov 2006 during my two hour stay in

the Venezuela air port my inner passion sparkled, I lost myself through
the transparent glass windows. I didn’t saw the physically existing oil
Refineries but “I saw coming tomorrow”. Within few minutes my
diary filled with words of diamonds, “The requirement for Energy will
be doubled in every home in the next 25 years. This sector is going to
dominate the world in coming decades as computers are ruling now.
It’s my life time goal that I want to be one of the best leaders of the
best Energy based company in the days to come.”
The world's voracious demand for energy comes not just new
factories, transport and commerce, all power-hungry sectors of any
economy, but the individual wealth to put more and bigger cars on the
road, to build bigger homes that need heating, cooling and lighting,
and to acquire the kilowatt-consuming gadgets of modernity, from
electric rice cookers to PCs. The arithmetic says that the world will
need half as much oil again by 2025 as it is producing now. Where will
the additional 41 million barrels a day come from? Today the big
problem in front of business world is

How to fuel the 21st Century?
In accordance with Michael Dell, Founder of Dell computers

“There’s always a better way to build a computer, or map a genome,
or liberate a country, or take a basketball team to the Final Four.” Now
what is that better way to gain control over fluctuating oil prices? The
way found its own path successfully in Brazil. Since the 1973 oil
embargo, Brazil has battled to achieve energy independence, replacing
gasoline with ethanol, an alcohol distilled from sugarcane. Brazil
ethanol, or "alcool" as it is called, costs only $2 at the pump,
compared to $4 for a gasoline-ethanol blend. The average motorist
can save about $820 a year by switching to ethanol. The most
dramatic development in the Brazilian ethanol program in recent years
has been the explosive growth of flex-fuel vehicles.
The revolutionary oil independence by Brazil, Growing concern

over global warming and lowering greenhouse gases every country
around the world is serious about finding cost- effective and
environmentally sound alternatives to oil. Public supports for the fight
against climate change have turned this new industry the darling of
politicians and business leaders. U.S President George W. Bush
announced his proposal to cut U.S. gasoline consumption by a fifth
over the next 10 years, with a major boost in ethanol and other
alternative fuels. With cutting-edge technology, European companies
are becoming world leaders in the fight against climate change.
Lucrative government subsidies, an EU-wide goal to reduce CO2
emissions 20% by 2020, it’s no wonder then the EU will install over
40% of the world's wind farms over the next eight years.
