Shri Sudheer Kumar, Ex Additional Member Transformation, Planning & Railway Electrification has written a book titled “Never a bystander: Indian Railways in Transition”
This book is a collection of actual stories of change and transformation that give the reader an insider's view of the incredible world of the Indian Railways. Driving successful change in government organizations is a Herculean task; many efforts fail, in any case. Grit, resilience and hardiness, along with a humane approach and the benign influence of critical stakeholders can often move mountains. The failures along the way are just the lead indicators of success.
Uncompromising integrity, service orientation, learning agility and intuitive use of emotional intelligence have been the pillars of the author's transformation agenda. He has constantly challenged faulty assumptions, collaborated and connected with the people in the field through direct observation (Gemba kaizen) and involved himself to drive a successful change. This book captures these efforts in a storytelling format.
While releasing the book Shri Ashwini Vaishnav, Hon’ble Minister for Railways stated that this book gives insider’s view of the incredible world of the Indian Railways.
