Mr. Ojha, a seasoned leader from one of the most reputed corporate houses, led 5,000 employees for many years. With nearly 40 years of experience working with leaders, managers, and young employees, he is now superannuated but remains actively engaged with people, playing golf on weekends and traveling to meet friends and celebrate life. During his reflections on golf courses in beautiful cities in India and abroad, Mr. Ojha often looks back on his life and career, drawing valuable lessons that he now wishes to share with the world.
Inspired by Steve Jobs' idea that we can only connect the dots by looking backward, he reflects on his journey from a small village in Bihar to the golf courses of major cities. Along the way, he uncovered stories and lessons on discipline, persistence, consistency, clarity, focus, courage, fearlessness, risk-taking, care for people, and maintaining a winning mindset to turn challenges into opportunities. These life lessons carry a deep sense of nostalgia and are not only relatable to people from Generation X and Y but also offer compelling insights for younger generations.
Born in a village without a basic school, Mr. Ojha had every reason to complain, yet today, he considers himself privileged to have funded the construction of a modern high school in his hometown. His journey, spanning various parts of India and the world, and working with some of the best minds, is captured in this inspiring book, Canvas of the Green. Through this story, Mr. Ojha hopes to inspire youth and others alike, helping them navigate their own race in life, while fostering a better world to live, love, laugh, and work.
