100 Managers in action presents case studies of a hundred managers who were chosen from among approximately 9,000 of whom we have profiled using 360 Degree feedback in the last 15 years. We got a list of nearly 300 managers who got outstanding ratings from their juniors, colleagues and seniors put together. We wrote to almost all of them. Some of them whom we profiled in early years (10 to 15 years ago) could not be contacted as some of them either retired or changed their jobs. We were able to finally get slightly over a hundred managers. It was a task to get them to share their stories. Once identified the role of 360 Degree Feedback is over. We don’t share any highlights from their 360 in this book but their little stories of their career, school days, early career and accomplishments in various assignments with special focus on the work they were doing around the time they got their 360 profiles made. Some of their stories and actions reveal their early exhibition of their leadership and managerial qualities. We have tried to follow our RSDQ model in presenting the stories. Wherever possible we described their managerial and leadership actions, the styles and the philosophy behind their styles, their attitudes to work, and assumption about what is success and what succeeds in India etc
