The book, which explores the journey of Delhi Metro from the concept to operation stage in detail, gives full credit to Sreedharan, who is enjoying his post-retirement days, for execution of all projects well in time.
'25 Management Strategies for Delhi Metro's Success: The Sreedharan Way' written by Delhi Metro's Chief Public Relations Officer Anuj Dayal takes readers to a roller coaster ride on the stupendous journey that the new age transport system has had in the national capital in the past 10 years.
The book was released today by Sreedharan's successor Mangu Singh, who effused praise on his predecessor explaining in detail the strategies and the risks involved in building the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.
Dayal said the idea of writing a book on management strategies struck him when he got a call from a firm asking him to share the experiences of the organisation's success.
"The entire top management had been giving lectures across the world. So, I decided one day why not we record something. That is how this book was conceived. I jotted down the main principles followed by Sreedharan," he said.
The book also talks about all powers being vested with the Managing Director of decision-making and cites it as one of the principal reasons for the organisation's success.
Dayal said he has recorded the battle on whether to construct the Metro in standard or broad guage and the debate over the corridors at the initial stage. (More)
