Book Description
Leadership has been the most talked about topic in the last decade. There have been plenty of amazing books written on the subject. However, the sad truth is that in spite of everything, we don’t have too many ‘great leaders’ out there. Only a handful to name who can truly claim this title.I have been deliberating on the reason behind it for a long time, have had numerous discussions with many of my learned friends and colleagues, top coaches and leadership experts. What I have come to understand is that, there are serious gaps in what is being taught and what is really needed in today’s context when it comes to leadership.Leadership has to evolve. The speed of change that we are witnessing today, calls for a very different style of leadership than what we have seen in the past. We live in an era where knowledge is everything but at the same time there is not enough time to acquire all the wisdom that you need to lead. Hence, unlike in the past, the leader is not someone who is a ‘know-it-all’ or someone who has solutions to all the problems, who knows the future and who will always succeed. Rather, in the present time, the leader cannot possibly know everything, the future is highly unpredictable and the chance of failure is very high. The leader of today has to learn to be comfortable not knowing everything. They must learn to work with the people and bring out the best in them. They must know how to create an environment where people can learn, grow and evolve into their best self, where they feel inspired from within to strive to be their absolute best. They must become a Transformational Leader. Everyone has the capacity to become a leader like that. It requires building the mindset, acquiring the skills of a transformational leader and finally knowing how to use the tools with the right people at the right time.This book is for all those new age leaders like you, who aspire to be successful leaders and lead their teams, organizations through times of uncertainty and complexity. If you are willing to invest in yourself, this book will guide you in developing yourself in all these three areas- Mindset, Skills & Tools.The book is divided into 3 parts. The first part deals with the foundational principles, understanding and acquiring the mindset of a transformational leader. This will help you build a strong foundation on which the practice of becoming a transformational leader can be built.The second part deals with the skills required to be a transformational leader. Each of these skills are important and require conscious practice to become habits. There are exercises at the end of the chapters to help you in practicing these skills.The third part gives you tools that you can use to make your practice more effective. They are very practical and will assist you in dealing with various situations.The world needs more leaders like you. Are you ready for the challenge? I am hoping that you are.
