We have an inherent fear of new ideas. We grow up in an environment that forces us to fit in, makes us believe in common goals that are in line with our financial bracket, and ensures we stay within these parameters all our lives. No wonder we're so far away from innovation.Innovation comes from taking risks, and risks can only be taken once fears are abandoned. When Mahindra & Mahindra first ventured into the automobiles industry, there was every reason for the company to fail. Today, it's one of the leaders of the industry. What set its destiny apart?Change the Rules, Anand Mahindra's inspiring address at the convocation ceremony of the graduating class of 2014 at IIM Ahmedabad not only reveals the secret behind the organization's unprecedented success but also highlights the dangers of staying in the comfort zone.
While we all are well versed about who anand mahindra is and what are his achievements, this book tries to give us a glimse into the mind of this genius. Well it's not about how anand mahindra managed to build a remarkable career and even helped lakhs of employees with him, it's more about the thought process he shares about India and its citizens. Whatever he says while addressing the fine graduates of IIM is 100% true and he also addresses why we are tied to such mentality. He encourages graduates and indians equally to get out of that comfort zone and embrace the ever changing technology and grow with it. I would recommend not only graduates but every ambitious person should read this beautiful, motivational small book.
Break the shell of fear. Outside the there are great many opportunities. If you succeed you efforts worked well. Otherwise your actions give wonderful lessons to understand and raise.
