Characteristic J.R.D. Tata
Intelligence J.R.D had a sharp sense and knowledge of maps
and geography
Courage Took to flying in those days when the safety
component was abysmal. He also fought the
government even though he was alone in the
battle.

standards of Air-India International. The hot eggs
and cold beacon for instance.
Daedalus
He had an innovative mind and
knowledge of architecture and
sculptures
His decision to embark on a flight with
his son even when he knew the
chances of survival were slim
Had zoned out a path for the travel not
too close to the sun nor too close to the
sea. Survived because of this detailing
Compare the protagonist with a modern day leader
Protagonist is J.R.D Tata and the modern day leader is Elon Musk
Characteristic J.R.D. Tata
Future-Oriented Thought about the future of Indian Civil Aviation in
an era when flying hadn’t even been introduced in
India
Collaborative Leadership He expected the same standards of impeccability
Style from his staff as he himself brought to the table
Perseverant and Tenacious Worked towards getting license for Air India for
years on end. Fought for his employees and
shareholders when nationalization was announced
Elon Musk
Always worked towards vision - to
impact people’s life through techno
He hires the best talent pool and
expects the best from them.
Even after 3 launch failures of the
SpaceX rocket he persisted through
the odds. Worked on the tasks hands
on.
Discuss the relevance of the theme in todays times
Theme of the book is: Career and Character

In todays times people lay adequate importance to Career at the cost of

Character. A literary example would be: The Wolf of Wall Street

• With age and the pressure of society to win no matter what, the emphasis on character has dwindled
• This had led to phrases such as Crony Capitalism, Occupy Wall Street
• Thus it is important to imbibe the value of working towards having ethics in every aspect of our work

Most individuals start their career on a high of both career and character. Only
some leave on a high of both

• With societal pressure and the desire to succeed no matter what, character takes a backseat
• Most organizations have started laying importance on personality tests than technical skills n rise of
the growing fear of scams and immoral employees
• Thus there is a need to highlight the importance of hard work and determination to achieve a vision
and to succeed with both ethics and morals
Relevance of theme – Current Day Example
RATAN TATA RAJAT GUPTA

• Respected across • Widely acclaimed

the globe for his as first foreign born
business acumen MD of McKinsey &
and philanthropy Company
• His claim of being • Convicted on
an Industrialist charges of insider
and not a trading, conspiracy
Businessman and fraud

Business needs to go beyond the Solid character will reflect itself in

interest of their companies to the consistent behavior, not hide behind
communities they serve. deceptive words and actions
