Me thinks
Effective leadership is an art that cannot be mastered by all. It is an art that is developed over a period of time with a lot of observation, articulation and patience is the biggest key towards this. As you learn while you keep growing yourself as the leader. In this book the author has managed to bring out the most unique points which are needed for someone to grow and become an efficient leadership.
The author has managed bring out the same in the most effective manner. The book is detailed in every aspect making the learning very easy to understand and connect for the reader. Leadership as a lesson is not something that one can learn in a business school as per curriculum it is something that is learnt on the field, through experience and this book acts like the Bhagvad Gita for leadership as the author acts like the Krishna for every aspiring leader, guiding them at every step as to what to do next in what terms.
Over all a very well written book , a must read for every aspiring leader.
