A.M. Naik : The Man Who Built Tomorrow

I rarely read non fiction. But I am very glad that I read this particular book.As a corporate employee, I had heard about L&T. But it’s a shame that I didn’t know about the history of this company and how much it has helped our country to develop. And it’s more shame that I hadn’t heard about A.M. Naik, the legendary leader who expanded the horizon of L&T in an unimaginable way.Firstly, I just loved the way each chapter was structured. One subject in one chapter made reading very easy for me. Also, I appreciate that the authors have also gone ahead and mentioned other books based on AM Naik. And the writing was impeccably perfect, not one I felt bored while reading this book.I leant a lot from this book. I learnt that perspective matters. I learnt that no matter how successful you are, you should keep learning. I also learnt that Nation Building is our duty, we as an individual should try our best to do something for our motherland. And I learnt about the ambitious, talented and insightful leader of L&T, Mr A.M. Naik. I realised that your vision is something that will help you and your company reach greater heights.I did feel that this book was more about L&T and less about A.M. Naik at places. But I am not complaining because it was great to gain insights into L&T.After reading this book, I have this sudden urge to read about the history of other organisations too. All thanks to this informative and beautiful book. Will recommend this book to everyone who wants to grow themselves and also be a part of overall growth of our country.

This is the story on a young engineer, recruited in Larsen and Toubro, who with his hardwork and dedication went on to become the chairman of the company . Leaders are born... not made..... holds good for Naik whose life will inspire the future generations.The book is well organized with small chapters that can be finished easily. Also the anecdotes are noteworthy. Well narrated and researched, this book serves as a guide to be a good leader. Overall a good book...
