Management Leadership Quotes

The first woman ever to lead a democratic power, this Indian prime minister was born in 1917. Politics surrounded her from her early childhood days and India's freedom movement became a backdrop for her further inclination to the field. Her constant interaction with national leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and her own father Jawaharlal Nehru, saw her interest in politics rise to a crescendo.

Yet it was this characteristic approach of being a 'Woman of steel' that led to her murder. In the throes of national uproar and the demand for a separate state by the Sikh community, she ordered for the shootout of terrorists in the holy 'Golden Temple', something that was taken as an insult by the Sikh community, and it was this negative sentiment that led to her being shot to death by her two Sikh bodyguards in 1984, outside her home.http://www.buzzle.com/articles/women-in-leadership-roles.html
