From Kindergarten to Corporation – Chapter 2 Review

I moved on to Chapter 2 of this book – which has an equally interesting title like the first one – Breaking to Build: The art of disruption – I love this chapter. This chapter talks about a unique characteristic of children which we adults always find it annoying – breaking a toy and fixing it again. The author has beautifully compared it to the emergence of Big Bazaar and revamping of BSNL. I particularly liked the use of a public sector organization like BSNL which had to undergo a major transformation to survive the cut-throat competition in the telecom sector.  Certain phrases that caught my eye – Learn, Unlearn and relearn, constructively dismantle – brilliant phrases that sum up what an organization and sometimes individuals should do when they come to a crossroad in life. The author gives a wonderful finish to the chapter by quoting Dantes, “In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself, in a dark wood, where the direct way was lost. Eventually I would find the right path, but in the most unlikely place.” A wonderful chapter where we get more than what the title suggests. Book review – From kindergarten to corporation
