Book: 80/20 CEO Vaman Kamath

I bought this book in the weekend. Since it is a thin book with lots of white space, I was able to read in a day. This book is an interview with ICICI Chairman, Vaman Kamath. Lots of information packed in each section and since the sections are two page long, it is easy to read. Inspiring thoughts and ideas, dynamic nature of business environment, attitude of change managers, how business identify talented and sidelines bottlenecks .... these are few topics of interest.

There is a discussion of Gujarat money scarcity rumour. Very very interesting and amazing way the bank handled the situation. We could feel the heat while reading. Btw, I read the net version of the story and it portrays how the world perceived the event. The inside story is much more thrilling :-)

The book gives the challenges at a CEO's office. Nice narration and interesting tales in the corporate world. Good read for anyone in the career path, particularly for the guys aspiring higher up.
