Ethics and Leadership

Mr Deepak Mullick (Executive Director, Avesthagen) delivered a lecture on ‘Creative & Ethical Leadership’ to the GMP class of 2008. Mr Mullick had held senior management positions in Shaw Wallace, ICI and was the CEO of Advanta India Limited before founding Avesthagen.

Mr Mullick held the GMPians in rapt attention as he narrated his personal account of how he had turned around his life by seeking answers to questions about himself which had been bothering him. Mr Mullick asserted that the key to developing oneself as a leader is to strive to be part of the solution rather than the problem. Mr Mullick narrated experiences from his personal life when he had to face enormous challenges by taking ethical stands and showed how he overcame those obstacles.

Mr Mullick shared an experience where in he took the risk of jeopardizing his career by sticking to his decision of not to pay a bribe. However he asserted that when someone follows absolute standards the other parties realize his/her commitment towards principles and he/she is able to achieve his purpose without using unethical means.

Mr Mullick illustrated how ethics is the heart of leadership and why it is becoming increasingly important in the present scenario to be able to stand by your principles no matter what. In essence it was an inspiring experience for the aspiring leaders to realize that in even today’s world let alone being a deterrent , ethics in fact is most essential ingredient for an enduring success
