Dare to Lead: The Transformation of Bank of Baroda (Response Books)

Dare to Lead is a rare story of leadership that produced dramatic business results through a multifaceted reform and transformation program. Narrated in a lucid manner by the author, who was the CEO of Bank of Baroda (BOB) for a tenure of three years, the book explores the trials, tribulations, joys, challenges and excitement in transforming a leading 97-year-old public sector bank into a modern, tech-savvy 21st century customer-centric bank. The book provides a blue print for undertaking transformation in large, geographically dispersed public sector enterprises. Emphasizing that large-scale transformation can be undertaken successfully if the CEO shows courage to change the status quo and mobilize the human effort in the organization, the book shows that sustainable transformation is all about laying foundations of intangibles such as leadership, people processes, branding, technology and customer-centric processes.
