Don’t Confuse Me With Bill Gates

A book written by HCL Technologies CEO Vineet Nayar, call “Employees First, Customers Second,” will be published by Harvard Business Press in June. It describes some of the bold management experiments that have enabled HCL Technologies to revitalize itself over the past five years and enjoy rapid growth even through the economic downturn. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Vineet shares some of his unconventional management thinking – and reveals with unusual candor some of his personal missteps as a leader.
