‘LEADERSHIP LESSONS FOR DAILY LIVING' is an attempt to document the wisdom and the demonstration of leadership exercised by the ‘ordinary’—nay, ‘extraordinary’—people in specific circumstances. It gives a deeply democratic message of enduring value that we all are capable of great leadership in our own spheres of living, and that we can cultivate the habits and practice of good leadership. It engages the reader in a style that evokes the use of parables to convey enduring wisdom; each short chapter offers a story, from which Dr. Balu extracts enduring principles, which are then explicitly synthesized. The book is meant to stimulate self-reflection and inner dialogues on purpose and responsibility. It offers a great takeaway for all sectors—academia, the corporate world, entrepreneurs, the Government, and the non-profit sector.
