During the launch event of the book ‘Are You The Leader You Want To Be?’ |
Authored by Manbir Kaur and Kathy Mitchell, the book
will help leaders from technology industry to realise the untapped potential in
their teams and create high performance teams. Authors’ duo believes that even
as the world of technology organizations is being subjected to greater turmoil,
some great teams continue to outperform the market. While it is a dream of
every leader to have a perfectly aligned and engaged team, it is easier said than
done. They believe that this challenge is even more so for the technology
leaders, who due to specific nature of their jobs, are even less equipped to
deal with the people element at work.
The book includes one chapter to highlight these key
traits and how these are responsible for the success of technology leaders till
they assume the role of leadership. This resonated strongly with Abhay
Savargaonkar, CTO, Bharti Airtel, the 3rd Largest Telecom operator in the world,
who through a special message conveyed at the event that, “The book stands out
because it focusses on these traits of tech leaders and ways to get over them
in a very simplistic manner.” He highlighted that leaders do not find this in
any other leadership books available in the market.
For demystifying employee engagement for technology
leaders, the book unveils a 5 Step, ‘no fluff’ framework called ‘HUMAN’. The
‘HUMAN’ framework is a new paradigm on Employee Engagement and makes it
tangible and measurable.
Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, The New York Times number 1
bestselling author of ‘Triggers’ and ‘What Got You Here Won’t Get You There’
has endorsed the book and believes that the book will help leaders from all
walks of life, but will be of greater benefit to the leaders who claim to be
too busy to read this book. He says, “My advice to all such busy technology
leaders is to get hold of their copy as soon as possible and start to implement
it.”
Rajan S Mathews, Director General, COAI, has written
in the foreword for the book that, “I am convinced the book will not only
engage the reader but will find the person returning again and again for the
helpful guidance as they benchmark their way to success!”
The book that has been endorsed by more than twenty
global industry leaders including Andy Stevenson, VP-Fujitsu, and Ankit
Agarwal, Director, Sterlite Technologies.
The book has been published by StoryMirror Infotech
and has 232 pages. Priced at INR 320, the book will be available on Amazon,
Flipkart and StoryMirror online store.
