The Secret Red Book Of Leadership by Awdhesh Singh is a befitting read
for all project managers and in the making. There is a strong stint of
leadership required in a project manager that does magical effect in
project drive and timely closures. There is a lot of practical
understanding about leadership. It is an interesting read that has been
sliced into 5 portions. Part 1 talks about the need for leadership. Why
do we require leaders? Who can be a leader? Why one must strive to
become a leader? How you can transform yourself into a leader? And why a
dual or two-way leader-follower relationship exists in reality in the
life of every leader. This all is covered in the first section of this
book and in a very interestingly manner.
The Secret Red Book Of
Leadership by Awdhesh Singh says that a leader is like an iceberg, and he
must stay like that only, never revealing himself completely. He must
not carry on with a standard, predictable pattern; rather it should be
changing even under similar kind of situations. Leadership is an art as
per Awdhesh Singh, and not science. There is no fixed rule book, or
guidelines to be a leader. A leader as per the book is not born, rather a
leader can be built. A leader has to be a good actor. He must stay
happy even if he is sad. He should not open up with everyone, so often.
In
my opinion, overall the book The Secret Red Book Of Leadership by
Awdhesh Singh is really an interesting read carrying different kind of
stuff on leadership and in a continuous flow that keeps staying tuned to
what the writer wants to convey through this book. The sequence of
parts (slices), titles and the chapters within a part are well
thoughtfully woven. Though I don’t agree to everything what has been
said in the book. But to most of it, I agree. A must-read for all
managers, project managers and anyone interested in knowing about
leadership in real action. The book has been published by Wisdom Tree.
