Aditya Birla Group has invested about USD 20 billion, mainly in manufacturing space, as it looks to be among the top two players across the segments it operates in, a top company official said on Saturday. Speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Aditya Birla Group Chairman KM Birla said the group firm has taken tough decisions, including the acquisition of Novelis by Hindalco, to build scale and aims to expand cement business from 100 million tonnes to 200 million tonnes over the next 10 years. He said most of the group's investments are long-term, with a business outlook over the next 15-20 years, while consumer businesses have a shorter span. «We have USD 20 billion of announced investments that are on the ground. Obviously, you look at it because a lot of them are in the manufacturing space. You would look at the next 15-20 years. Shorter than that doesn't make sense in that kind of business… If, on the other hand, you're looking at fashion retail or jewellery retail or financial services, then you are looking at a much shorter time frame,» Birla said.

Stephen Covey’s book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”, shows how important this strategy is. It says a jar (life/effort/mind) can be filled up using rocks (priorities) and sand (distractions). If you fill the jar up with sand first, there won’t be space to put in the rocks. But if you put the rocks in first, the jar would be filled with more meaningful stones; even if sand is poured in, it would only fill the empty spaces. This shows that one should choose the things that are important in life and not waste time on other distractions. The book provides a detailed framework on building such habits. The author speaks about being proactive by taking responsibility for actions and responses. From a career perspective, this could involve identifying the root causes of delays and streamlining processes and tasks instead of complaining.
