The Leader Who Had No Title

I have been an avid follower of Robin Sharma's books for over five years now, since I first read the book - "The Monk who Sold his Ferrari". His narration has been a constant source of inspiration which pushes me into action every moment. This book is another to the series.

Unlike the Monk who sold his Ferrari and its sequel which had the "Monk" as the main character across the books, this book - "The Leader Who Had No Title" takes a war veteran as the protagonist and narrates using the trauma he goes through. He finds his mentor in an old friend of his father who leaves a life changing experience for this young lad. The story then revolves around the protagonist meeting other mentors and learning the essential features which make one a leader with out title.

The lessons that the book gives could be encapsulated with some of the following acronyms:

You need no Title to be a Leader

I - importance of innovation

M- mastery

A - authenticity

G - guts needed for business

E - ethics

Turbulent Times Build Great Leader

S - Speak with Candor

P - Prioritize

A - Adversity breeds Opportunity

R - Respond versus react

K - Kudos to offer

The Deeper your Relations, the Stronger Your Leadership

H - Helpfulness

U - Understanding

M - Mingle

A - Amuse

N - Nurture

To be a Great Leader, First Become a great Person

S - See Clearly

H - Health is Wealth

I - Inspiration Matters

N - Neglect Not your Family

E - Elevate your Lifestyle

With his usual style of writing, the book is studded with a lot of quotes - these are worth a treasure!
