Ratan Naval Tata

Thanks to Bloomberg UTV, here is a rare opportunity to share what Ratan Naval Tata has to say about Higher Ambition: How Great Leaders Create Economic and Social Value, recently published by Harvard Business Review Press.  In this book on leadership, five Harvard veterans (Michael Beer, Russell Eisenstat, Nathaniel Foote, Tobias Fredberg, and Flemming Norrgren) argue that great leaders and successful companies are made when they pursue economic and social values with the same set of priorities.

“These leaders are not just content to make their quarterly numbers; they are committed to creating organizations that sustainably win, with their people, their customers, their communities, and with their stakeholders. These leaders are working to fully realize the potential of their firms to create superior and lasting economic value. At the same time, they are putting their shoulders to the wheel to create superior social value. And they seek to accomplish both goals simultaneously.”That is their higher ambition.”
