Bart Becht: A CEO worth celebrating

There was an interesting  article I read recently about RB’s CEO Bart Becht, called Do we celebrate the wrong CEOs?
He has been named as one of a handful of  “quiet CEOs” who are getting the job done, and getting it done well. 

The conversation, over at Harvard Business Review,  quite rightly asks the question: “Where do our leadership models and leadership lessons come from? We may just be learning from the most admired, but not the best-performing leaders.”

It is an art to explain the most complex of strategies in a few lines - Bart is known within the company to tell the story of a company’s future in 4 slides.�
One has to admire the man. I keep kicking myself on not having bought RB’s stock earlier!

At RB, there is a lot of emphasis placed on being mobile. I have been at Delhi for the past 5 months, and it is now time for me to move on to new challenges that a fresh territory would pose.
A few days back, I had a presentation. The audience sat in front of 4 men and a lady. Between them, they hold the reins of RB’s business interests over India and South Asia.

Time Given to impress = 25 minutes
Content = 7 months worth of work (across roles, across territories)
End Result = Managing Director: “Excellent Presentation, Great Work!!”
Where I am in January? = Your guess is as good as mine!

There is no inertia here … keep your bags packed and your spirit pumped!
