 "Try to look for an example outside of your industry or your area. That’s my first recommendation. Try to get somebody from politics, somebody from sports, somebody who is totally disconnected, just to understand. Look at some big political leaders. I can talk about somebody like Mahatma Gandhi form India. Look at people like Nelson Mandela, look at some of the great political leaders, look at great sports leaders. Try to learn from real life experience. Look at the things that don’t work and why you don’t want to make the same mistakes", - Amit Sah, Consumer Business Manager, Citi Russia.
