Transformational Leadership in Banking by Anil K Khandelwal
This book aims to provide practitioners a deep appreciation of the role and nature of transformational leadership in disruptive banking environments.
Dr Anil KKhandelwal is a respected banking figure who has earned his stripes through his well-recognized work at Bank of Baroda (BOB). In this book, Dr Khandelwal makes a powerful case for urgent and integrated reforms in the banking sector. This compilation by him offers timely solutions by focusing on issues that I couldn’t agree more with and are needed for a strong governance structure and nurturing the right talent. I highly recommend this book for those who want to seriously understand the challenges faced by banks in India. -- Deepak Parekh * Chairman HDFC Ltd *
Dr Anil K. Khandelwal’s edited book on transformational leadership in banking is both timely and instructive, with excellent perspectives on the issues of governance, leadership and HR in a digital environment. The book is a blueprint for transformation and reforms, especially in public sector banks, and will be of immense value to policymakers, regulators, board members, CEOs, researchers and to all those in leadership roles and the public at large. -- G. C. Chaturvedi * Former Secretary, Government of India and Chairman, ICICI Bank and National Stock Exchange *
Dr Khandelwal is a living legend for BOB. He has been a distinguished former chairman who pretty much invented a new template of an HR-driven transformation in terms of managing public sector banks, and BOB was his laboratory. This book, edited by Dr Khandelwal, not only brings fresh insights from his pen but is also an outstanding curated collection of essays and observations that encompass the broad spectrum of issues that confront banks today. As we face another crisis since COVID, there is no doubt that the answers to our problems must be in new ways of working and talent management. I am confident that all readers of this book would come away educated, enlightened and wiser. -- Sanjiv Chadha * Managing Director and CEO, BOB *
This book by Dr Khandelwal, who is a thought leader and authority on leadership and governance, is quite timely. What makes the book exceptional is its focus on intangibles such as leadership, governance and talent in transforming banks, which are normally ignored. Strong board leadership is needed to pilot internal reforms to make individual banks technology-driven and customer-centric. The book is strongly recommended to policymakers, senior bankers and academics as rich source material for reforms. -- Shyamala Gopinath * Chairman, HDFC Bank, and Former Deputy Governor, RBI *
With the unique perspective of someone who has weathered it all as a head of not one, but two public sector banks, Dr Khandelwal provides a compelling, thought-provoking narrative and practical know-how on transformational leadership in the high-octane banking industry. This multifaceted account provides powerful examples of case studies, best practices and experiences of governance, change management and innovation by seasoned professionals and CXOs in systemically critical organizations. I feel the book will be of immense value to the C-suite, academics, regulators and policymakers alike. This is a must-read for every forward-thinking leader and HR practitioner. -- Rajnish Kumar * Former Chairman, State Bank of India *
This book provides invaluable insights into the world of banking and guides us on what is required to succeed in these turbulent times. There is no better person than Anil Khandelwal to draw from his rich experience and understanding of the sector in putting together this collection of writings—a must-read for all. -- Naina Lal Kidwai * Ex-chairman HSBC India and Director on the Board of HSBC Asia Pacific *
Leadership is all about converting adversity into an opportunity for transformation. The twin forces of technology and a global pandemic are a perfect setting to unlock the potential of public sector banks in India. As usual, Anil Khandelwal has curated an excellent set of chapters, case studies and interviews, and he offers a roadmap to transformational leadership for Indian banks. -- Jagdish N. Sheth * Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Business Goizueta Business School, Emory University Atlanta, USA *
This timely collection of chapters, interviews and case studies on the role of leadership and people development in contemporary Indian banking, provides insightful perspectives on how the banking sector can become an engine for India’s economic development. -- Rishikesha T. Krishnan * Director, Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Bangalore *
Dr Anil Khandelwal’s edited book on transformational leadership is a great contribution especially in the banking sector, where operational perspectives have guided leader’s decisions at a time when market insights, customer centricity, agile technologies and processes and talent development should have been the priorities. This book’s strength is an excellent amalgam of academic research and practice. Dr Khandelwal himself is a transformational leader, and hence, this book will be a great contribution to our understanding of the transformation process and leadership in the banking industry. -- Rajan Saxena * Former Vice Chancellor, Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai *
This exceptional book probes the structural issues framing public banks and suggests mechanisms that will improve the health of the financial system. Bank nationalization did raise India’s savings rate, but finance was intermediated inefficiently. This landmark book focuses on governance, the composition of bank boards, tenure of CEOs, compensation, leadership pipeline and talent management, and provides insights as to how public sector banks can become strong and profitable institutions. Policymakers would do well to act fast on these recommendations. -- Errol D’Souza * Director, IIM Ahmedabad *
Comprehensive, focused and immediately useful, the book is an articulate and highly readable synthesis on leadership practices and a framework to apply in real-life situations.
Dr Anil K. Khandelwal has beautifully intertwined the ideas of governance, transformational leadership and human capital management in the ever-evolving Indian banking landscape by bringing together carefully commissioned chapters and case studies by leading experts and domain leaders in this book. -- S. S. Mallikarjuna Rao * Managing Director and CEO, Punjab National Bank *
This book holds up a mirror to the Indian banking industry. It offers a holistic picture of the current issues the industry faces and rightly focuses on the most critical missing piece of the puzzle—the need for transformational leaders. Transformational leadership is rare but so compelling in terms of an organization’s ability to re-energise and reinvent. This book offers excellent insights into what is required to achieve this in a rapidly evolving industry. -- Rakesh Makhija * Chairman, Axis Bank *
The main thrust of banking regulatory structure is to ensure that banks play a positive role in India’s development. Unfortunately, this structure has not lived up to its expectations, at least in case of public sector banking. In the preface to the excellent collection of chapters by academics and eminent practitioners that Dr Anil Khandelwal has compiled, he makes a strong case for moving away from an overly technical regulation of the banking sector to one where banks get excellent transformational leadership, extensive operating autonomy, flexibility in HR policies to get talent in specialist areas and a board with the needed diversity in expertise. Dr Khandelwal knows what he is talking about. He was CMD of BOB during 2005–2008. As a board member, I observed that he practised a highly effective, innovationist and transformational leadership. He succeeded beyond expectations. His message and the views of the other contributors to this book need to be taken seriously. I wish the book all success. -- Pradip N. Khandwalla * Former Director, IIM Ahmedabad *
Banking today is witnessing a revolution globally, and this selective collection of ideas, collated by Anil Khandelwal, from the best minds in Indian banking, brings to the forefront possible futures. -- Gita Piramal * author of bestsellers Business Maharajas, Business Legends and Managing Radical Change *

"Whether you are a financial practitioner, an academic, a student or just a reader wondering what the banking sector has in store, this is a one-stop book you can′t afford to miss." -- The Hans India, 4 March 2021
