“Leadership is extremely lonely,” said Narayana Murthy, the Infosys co-founder on the second episode of 3one4 Capital podcast, The Record, with T V Mohandas Pai. This should have been the first episode instead, as it gives in so much more context to why Murthy urged youth to work 12-hours a day.
He said while leadership is very lonely, the memories of the joys, and the challenges that you faced in the organisation is what really gives you company. He explained further, saying how taking decisions required him oftentimes to not sleep at night and sit alone to think about it.
“I enjoyed those successes. I wept for those mistakes. I think in some sense, the experiences that you have gone through within the organisation is your only companion. There’s nobody else.”
