8. Can you name a person who has had a<br />
tremendous impact on you as a leader? Maybe<br />
someone who has been a mentor to you?<br />
Why and how did this person impact your life?<br />
There have been may people who have made an<br />
impact on me including our Chairman and Vice<br />
Chairman. But, one person who has had a<br />
tremendous impact on me is my grandfather - Shri<br />
V.H. Dalmia. He has shown me the importance of<br />
thinking holistically about a situation, including<br />
how a decision can impact others. He has given me<br />
various examples from his own & my greatgrandfather<br />
- Shri Jaidayal Dalmia's experiences.<br />
For example, even during the 1950's, they focused<br />
on health, safety and environment impact of any<br />
business decision.<br />
9. What is one characteristic that you believe<br />
every leader should possess?<br />
In today's changing world one of the most important<br />
characteristic a leader should have is promoting<br />
innovation. This is one sole factor which can create<br />
an UVP (unique value proposition) for the company<br />
and in return give it the edge against the competition.<br />
Patience is another very import characteristic one<br />
should possess. It helps a lot when things are not<br />
going one's way.<br />
10. What advice would you give<br />
someone going into a leadership<br />
position for the irst time?<br />
Every person is a leader. I don't believe that<br />
a person needs to hold a leadership<br />
position be a leader.<br />
But for the sake of this question, in a<br />
leadership position one needs to think and<br />
do things differently or else the results will<br />
always remain the same.<br />
11. What is that one thing you are most<br />
proud of?<br />
The GHCL team<br />

taken?<br />

products that are not environmentally<br />
friendly.<br />
