The CEO Forum

The CEO Forum

XL launched its CEO Forum – an informal interaction between CEOs and the students to be held twice a term - on August 1st. The first speaker, naturally, was Mr B Muthuraman (75BME), MD of Tata Steel, and the message:

· Select a job you have passion for, that you enjoy

· Life / career is a marathon; don’t treat it like a 100mtr sprint

· There are more failures in life than successes; learn to deal with them

· 80% of what makes success is not taught in b-schools; reflect on your

experiences and learn from them

· Plan for your ‘self’; don’t chase positions, chase quality in your life

· Purpose of business is to improve the quality of life of the society

· Keep time for yourself

· Companies make different products, but quality of jobs depends on processes… select your jobs based on quality of processes

Great Ideas!... thanks!... and a Great Beginning!!!
