Case of the Bonsai Manager: Lessons for Managers on Intuition

I have had the personal experience of working with the Author at Hindustan Lever Ltd (HLL - now called Unilever). I was at HLL for more than 10 years. RG , as he was popularly known, was loved by his team and he lead by example. The book is a must read for all managers. It is written in a simple , straight-forward way and drives home basic truths and insights of leading. Here's a book that will inspire you.

Lucky :)! first one to post a review. I wonder people have missed out on a great book to read . A very good insight into the skills required for manager to keep growing and not be stunted by hinderances to his/her growth just like a Bonsai plant hence the name of the book. The author has rich industry experience and is able to articulate his thoughts very well. Interesting to read how he observes the phenomenon in nature and explains it as a learning mode for the managers . He emphasizes the need for developing intutive skills apart from honing the analytical skills and shows several ways in which it can be developed by managers or people in general.Most of the learnings are conveyed through short stories/ anecdotes which i found much more interesting and captivating than usual jargon on the subject as such.I found it to be an excellent read.
