Book Description

Think of a senior leader from one of the most reputed corporate houses who had the privilege of leading 5,000 employees for many years while leading a site and has almost 40 years of working experience with leaders, managers and young employees. Now, the same leader has superannuated, but he is equally engaged with people, playing golf on weekends and travelling to various places to meet people and celebrate life. During some of the reflections on golf courses in the most beautiful cities in India and abroad, he is thinking of his life and career lessons which he now decides to share with the world. While being on golf courses on every weekend in morning hours, he is looking back and connecting the dots. As Steve Jobs said - we can connect the dots only when we look backwards. In his journey starting from a little village in Bihar to the golf courses in some of the largest cities in India and abroad, he finds many stories, lessons and connections which will, for sure, benefit youngsters and in fact people from any age group. There are lessons of discipline, persistence, consistency, clarity, focus, courage, fearlessness, risk taking, care for people and a winning mindset to convert challenges into opportunities which come out as he narrates his story which has a deep and everlasting fragrance of nostalgia. While people from Generation X and Y can connect with the stories, people from Generation Z, etc. will also find these equally compelling and interesting. Mr Ojha was born in a village without even a basic school and had every reason to crib and complain. Today, he considers himself blessed and privileged to fund the construction of a modern high school in the same village. The journey in between - which moves through various parts of India and the world and also through some of the biggest corporate houses, is encapsulated in this inspiring and thrilling book. This book has an encaptivating story of his travel from a small village to Jamshedpur and from there to West Bokaro before travelling across many other countries while working with some of the best brains in the world and learning a lot of lessons on the way. Mr Ojha wants to share these with the youth - and people from other generations alike - hoping that some of these will make sense to them and will help them run their own race of life successfully. Let the world be a better place to live, love, laugh and work, and this is the goal with which 'Canvas of the Green' has come to shape.
