In a fiercely competitive environment, are you really stepping 'out of the box' and learning from unusual sources?Īre leaders in your organization truly building capacity or merely solving problems? Is your organization's infrastructure designed to evolve and ultimately mimic the simultaneity of a living organism?Īre you constantly nurturing and renewing your brand identity or letting it stagnate and decay?ĭoes your sales force have as many hunters as it has farmers or is it dominated by a grizzly who just waits for the salmon to land in its mouth?

Through a combination of engaging anecdotes from his experiences as co-founder and subsequently Chairman of Mindtree Ltd and insightful stories from our everyday world, Bagchi demonstrates a crucial point: Organizations with real ambition to get to the top need to embrace the idea of scale and then ensure that it systematically pervades every aspect of its functioning. In The Elephant Catchers, Subroto Bagchi distils his years of on-the-ground learning to explore why this happens and what such organizations and their people must do to climb to the next level and beyond. Many organizations, even those that may have a brilliant start, falter in their attempts to achieve transformational growth in their later phases.
