Challenges as a leader

and experiences within the business– Can delay decision making

• Autocratic:– Leader makes decisions without reference to anyone else– High degree of dependency on the leader– Can create de-motivation and alienation

of staff– May be valuable in some types of business where

decisions need to be made quickly and decisively

Transactional &

Transformational LeadershipIn Biocon, both transactional and transformational leadership has

been seen. The transactional leaders (or managers) ensure that routine work

is done reliably, while the transformational leaders look after initiatives that add value.

High regulating and low nurturing has seen as the key factor of her behavior, she always defines the role of the group members telling them what task to do and how and when and where to do them. She is the master of her field so she has developed her trade like that. 

She always initiates the problem solving and decision making; even the solution and decision are announced by her and its implementations are closely supervised. The above behavior keeps her under the authoritative and directive leadership trade.

Kiran Mazumdar Shaw is known for her authority under her leadership.

Biocon has immerged as the most admired company in biotechnology for their research work and wealth creation.

She is the great believer in herself and always led the research project under her umbrella.

Lines by:Kiran Mazumdar Shaw

“If I can build a company like Biocon, anyone can…” The first step was to dream however big or small….If

you have a vision, no matter how big or small, a plan, no matter if it is imperfect, but if there is passion and conviction for it, success is inevitable.

Her vision for the future is to grow into a global bio-therapeutics company with very innovative and proprietary products and technologies

Thank you!
