Description
What makes for great leadership? Can it be learnt? If so, what are the essential value and qualities that go into its making? By studying the lives, successes and failures of some of mankind’s greatest leaders, the author identifies thirteen qualities of leadership: ● Communication ● Compassion ● Competence ● Courage ● Decision-making ● Humility ● Integrity ● Man-management ● Purpose ● Stamina ● Teamwork ● Training, and ● Vision The importance of each of these qualities is highlighted by examples from the lives of outstanding leaders. In a time of increasing ethical ambivalence, the new chapter on J. R. D. Tata's business ethics is particularly illuminating. It brings out the wide canvas on which this titan of Indian industry chose to both define and practice ethics with remarkable business success. The instances of great leaders chosen by the author are drawn from different walks of life and the rich insights and understandings offered by the book would benefit leaders in every field of human endeavour, whether it be business, military, public service or education. REVIEWS “ …delightful – and more importantly thoughtful – book ... Lala writes with conviction and sincerity ... those who think they are ‘leaders’ should read this book.” — MV Kamath in The Times of India “The subject is fascinating ... and Russi Lala’s fresh approach had made it extremely interesting.” — JRD Tata “ … excellent book ... he has made a great study of this subject.” — Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw
