Book description
Unusual people are ordinary people who strive hard to do extraordinary
things. They are sensitive to nuances, look to provide lateral
solutions, dare to think out of the box, and often end up changing the
rules of the game. T. G.C. Prasad presents the views and experiences of
sixty-five individuals, from well-known names like Mike Lawrie, Azim
Premji and Mother Teresa to a chef, a masseuse and a service boy, with
whom he has had meaningful interactions and who have inspired him. He
includes people from a broad professional spectrum; CEOs, doctors, the
director general of police, realtors, an attorney, a chartered
accountant, a consultant and a sports coach are among those who make his
list. Singling out a dominant factor from each person's story, he
outlines the journeys these people undertook and the behaviours they
exhibited, and shows how these link up to the results they achieved.
Unusual People Do Things Differently is full of pithy everyday
management lessons and offers valuable insights to everyone who aspires
to grow, manage and lead.
