How is a ‘Shaper’ different\n from a manager and a business leader? A Shaper operates with a long-term\n vision and successfully changes the trajectory of the company to make it\n future ready, in the way Anil Naik shaped the future of Larsen & Toubro\n (L&T). The narrative traces the spectacular five-decade-long journey of\n Anil Naik as a junior engineer from the shop floor to the position of MD, CEO\n and chairman. The story traverses through the parallel life journeys of\n L&T and Naik and witnesses their trials and tribulations. Naik built the\n growth trajectory of L&T on the foundation of ‘value creation’ and\n transformed the company into an agile and competitive business conglomerate.\n Based on a series of personal interviews with Naik and his team, the book\n explores Naik’s mindset and actions that transformed L&T into a leading\n Indian MNC with a global footprint in fields as diverse as defence, nuclear\n power and aerospace to financial services, IT and engineering services. How\n Anil Naik Built L&T’s Remarkable Growth Trajectory is the second book in\n the series, Shapers of Business Institutions. The book reveals ‘The Naik\n Way’—new theories of leadership and management as a catalyst to growth.
