Leadership Qualities and Challenges

This document discusses leadership qualities and challenges faced by Kumon India's food division. It describes how the division director, Yatin Kak, resigned unexpectedly, lowering morale. Tridev Puri was tasked with replacing Kak and boosting growth from 23% to 35% despite strikes, factory issues, and an employee's illness. The document profiles Kak, Puri, and manager Gurdeep Kalra's leadership styles and analyzes what makes an effective leader based on handling teams and multiplying output, not just metrics. It concludes that true leaders build teams that can succeed without them.
