leadership style of Rahul Bajaj

Rahul Bajaj is the man who can be given credit for building Bajaj auto are the 4th largest two-wheeler manufacturer in the world. He has achieved an incredible growth rate of 1852% in the last decade.

Following are some of the points that explain the reason of his success.

•Education: Bajaj is a highly educated person. He has done his BA (Hons) and is a management graduate from Harward.

•Concentration of Core Competency: Rahul Bajaj collaborated with Kawasaki for production of motorcycle but for scooter he did not go for any collaboration. Manufacturing scooters is his core competency and he does not want to experiment with that.

•Customer is King: Bajaj has often been accused of exploiting the customers with delivery period of 10 years, black marketing, etc. but this is not true at the face value. A deeper insight brings to picture that there were other elements who are responsible for these accuses. Bajaj, in spite of a heavy demand, did not raise the price of his scooters and avoided exploitation of customers.

•Staunch believer in himself: Bajaj listens to each and everyone, but takes decision on his own. His organisation is a little centralized. In spite of strong oppositions, he sticks to his decisions.

•Never give up attitude: ‘Licence Raj’ was a nightmare for Bajaj. He does not believe in bringing Government officials and getting his license cleared. This is a major reason why Bajaj Auto came under MRTP and was allowed to expand its production capacity. But he did not give up to the Government conditions and after some years, done lobbying through business housed and putting tremendous pressure on Government learn his license.

•Jach Welch’s theory: Rahul Bajaj holds same views of Mr. Jack Welch, the former CEO of GE. He believes that if one is no No 1 or No 2, he should get out from that business. This principle kept him away from the four-wheeler market.

•Attitude towards workers: Bajaj has less kind of words for workers. Still, there has been only one strike in the history of 35 years of the company. He takes care of the needs of the workers and at the same time, he views workers as a tool for production. In his word’ “Why do they strike and lose wages? They should work more, earn more”

•BBC: Rahul Bajaj is well known for his unflinching frankness and varied opinion on every topic under the sun. His office is therefore popularly known as BBC (Bajaj Broadcasting Corporation)

•Straightforwardness: His quotes about the Governnment have found place in the headlines of many leading newspapers and magazines in India and have also raised controversies. But this does not stop him from doing what he considers correct.

All the above features are the hallmark of Bajaj. They has earned him a rare reputation as one of India’s most successful industrialists.

Squeaky clean, he has never been involved in shady takeovers. He does not engage in street fights, nor has he ever hijacked someone else’s project. He hasn’t burnt tyres during hard drive for meteoric growth.

On the contrary, he is something of a plodder, routinely burning the midnight oil, and devoted to the virtues of hard work. He’s India’s most admired industrialist along with Dhirubhai Ambani and the late Adity Birla.
 
What do you understand by Leadership

Leadership can be hard to define and it means different things to different people. In the transformational leadership model, leaders set direction and help themselves and others to do the right thing to move forward. To do this they create an inspiring vision, and then motivate and inspire others to reach that vision.
