Let’s delve into the author’s insights.
Q1. What is this book about?
Ans- This book tells us how we can discover the leaders in ourselves. I had the privilege of being at the centre of some very crucial decision-making processes at various levels during my tenure at the Indian Revenue Service. The book also tells us how to deal with life’s challenges thrown at us both in our personal as well as professional lives, how to inculcate the leadership traits in us and thereby discover the leader inside us. Having faced the vicissitudes of life myself and how I was able to deal with them, I thought it was time to share my views in the form of this book.
Q2. How do you define your relationship with the subject matter of ‘Key 2 Leadership’?
Ans- I took voluntary retirement from the Indian Revenue Service because even though I was doing well professionally, my growth mindset prompted me to work towards self-actualization. Mind you, the decision to resign from a well-settled and powerful job was not an easy one to make. I, however, made the life-changing decision and took a dive, knowing fully well that a net would appear, and it did. Decision-making is the core of a high degree of leadership.
Q3. What inspired you to write this book?
Ans- Leadership is very crucial for any organization which aims to achieve its goals and targets. I have come across many situations in my career wherein the organizations have failed to do well due to many factors like absence of team spirit, lack of motivation, lack of trust, bad communication, fixed mindset, not willing to adapt to changing dynamics, etc, to name a few. I thought it was time for me to do my bit for society by sharing my experience in the relevant field.
Q4. Is there any other factor that pushed you to write this book?
Ans- Print and social media are the best means to reach out to many people. The success of my first book ‘Key 2 Happiness” and the kind of heart warming feedback I received from different quarters inspired me to write this book so that others can benefit from this. I got numerous texts by people who wanted me to share my thoughts on leadership as well.
Q5. What is the key takeaway from this book?
Ans- We live in a world which is fiercely competitive. There are many hands chasing relatively fewer opportunities. In other words, the supply of manpower is much more than the demand for it. Moreover Darwins theory of survival for the fittest is very much applicable in the modern world. In such a scenario one must be the best to survive in today’s highly challenging and competitive world. There is always a need to sharpen the Axe regularly to keep pace with the ever-changing world.
This book provides an opportunity and the tools to not only sharpen the Axe but also to get updated and ready to face the challenges in a better way.
