Principles OF Leadership
PAST HABITS
Went to Yemen to join his elder brother , worked at a gas station. Later promoted to as a distributor of Shell products.
Came to India, started the business of exporting spices. Founded Reliance Commercial Corp. with cousin Champaklal Damani with initial capital of 15,000rs
An Opportunist
During 1950s-
In the 1950s, the Yemini administration realized that their main unit of currency, the Rial, was disappearing fast.
It was found that a young man in his twenties was placing unlimited buy orders for Yemini Rials. Rials, pure silver coins and was in much demand at the London Bullion Exchange. Young Dhirubhai bought the Rials, melted them into pure silver and sold it to the bullion trader sin London. Entrepreneurships true sense lies in the fact that he always looks upon opportunity
A Visionary Government of India introduced High Unit Value Scheme; hence Dhirubhai shifted his interests from spices to nylon fabrics. When most Indian business houses depended on government owned financial institutions for funds, Dhirubhai raised capital from the public by offering shares of his companies.
The Innovator
Dhirubhai Ambani is credited with starting the equity cult in India.
Backward Integration:
To strengthen his position in the textile sector, Dhirubhai integrated backwards and produced fibers
To Promote VIMAL:
Advertising program was launched , toured the entire country intensively offering franchises to shareholders. Dhirubhai managed to create favorable centers in all the important areas among the bureaucrats, the ruling politicians, as well as the media. Dhirubhai Believed That Business Is Nothing But A Web Of Relationships And Obligations."
This tendency that he had, to draw people towards him, manifested itself in countless ways.
People s did much more than their capacities since they had trust on him, and that they had him on their side.
The Helper
When things went wrong, 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.
His first instinct was always to join his men in putting out the fire and not crucifying them for it.
Dhirubhaism :
Never followed the textbook style of management , evolved a Unique style: The American Style of entrepreneurship With the Japanese Focus on Technology And innate shrewdness of a Gujju businessman A Perfect manager of Time , Money ,Men and Passion to find solution to problems. Believed that business was not all about Ethics & Morality ,it was all about Expansion & Success (Teleology Theory)
DHIRUBHAI AMBANIS IMPACT ON RELIANCES MANAGERIAL PRACTICES AND THEIR POSITIVE IMPACT ON BUSINESS
Dhirubhai Ambani was a transformational leader. Through His innovative idea of converting the debentures of the company into equity shares , Reliance was able to convert its liabilities into assets by this masterstroke and the share prices of the company went up and all the investors could make through this process.
Though, the Government of the day was against this equity cult (Badla system) starter by Dhirubhai per say, but, over a period of time based on precedence in foreign companies, the statute book itself was modified to be in line with this innovative idea. Consequently, the volumes of business in Reliance increased very fast along with quick multiplication of its share capital.
Growth has no limit at Reliance. I keep revising my vision. Only when you dream it you can do it. Think big, think fast, think ahead. Ideas are no ones monopoly Our dreams have to be bigger. Our ambitions higher. We bet on people : Our commitment deeper. And our efforts greater. This is my dream for Reliance and for India. Dont give up , courage is my conviction. We cannot change our Rulers, but we can change the way they Rule Us.
