DHIRUBHAISM

Dhirubhaism No 1: Roll up your sleeves and help.He was the first person to sense that the circumstances would have been beyond his team's control, rather than it being a slip on their part, as he trusted their capabilities implicitly.............. rolling up his sleeves and diving in to rescue a situation that had gone out of control.

Dhirubhaism No 2: Be a safety net for your team.

but the knowledge that he knew and cared for what I was going through, and that he was there for me if I ever needed him, worked wonders for my confidence.

Dhirubhaism No 3: The silent benefactor.

When he helped someone, he never ever breathed a word about it to anyone else.

Dhirubhaism No 4: Dream big, but dream with your eyes open.

But though he dreamed big, he was able to clearly distinguish between perception and reality and his favourite phrase "dream with your eyes open" underlined this

Dhirubhaism No 5: Leave the professional alone!

he only direction that he gave me, just once, was this: "Produce your best."

Dhirubhaism No 6: Change your orbit, constantly! we are all born into an orbit. It is up to us to progress to the next. We could choose to live and die in the orbit that we are born in. But that would be a criminal waste of potential. When we push ourselves into the next orbit, we benefit not only ourselves but everyone connected with us.However, when you change orbits, you will create friction. The good news is that your enemies from your previous orbit will never be able to reach you in your new one. By the time resentment builds up in your new orbit, you should move to the next level. And so on.

Dhirubhaism No 7: The arm-around-the-shoulder leader

it must have required phenomenal generosity of spirit to be that inclusive. Yes, this was one of the things that was uniquely Dhirubhai -- that warm arm around my shoulder that did much more than words in letting me know that I belonged, that I had his trust, and that I had him on my side!

Dhirubhaism No 8: The Dhirubhai theory of Supply creating Demand He was not an MBA. Nor an economist. But yet he took traditional market theory and stood it on its head......No doubt his instinct was backed by years and years of reading, studying market trends, careful listening and his own honed capacity to forecast, but yet despite all this preparation, it required undeniable guts to pioneer such a revolutionary move.....his uncanny knack of knowing exactly how the market is going to behave.

Dhirubhaism No 9: Money is not a product by itself, it is a by-product, so don't chase it People will pay for your product or service if it is good. But if you get your priorities slightly mixed up, not only will the money you make remain just a quick buck it would in all likelihood blacklist you for good. Sounds too simplistic!!
