About the Book

This book seeks to explore leadership through study and interpretation of literature. It starts by stressing on the distinction between managerial roles, which are based on knowledge, techniques, skills and emphasis on results, and leadership roles that focuses on imagination, passion, commitment and fulfillment of dreams. Traditional management approaches, based on \'scientific\' analysis, do not contribute much towards understanding leadership. This book shows how leadership can be better understood by reading and interpreting masterpieces of world literature and relating them to leadership issues. The book argues that understanding leadership is really about understanding life, and this starts with gaining an understanding of the self. The book starts with Cervantes\' masterpiece Don Quixote, whose main character asserts \'I know who I am\' and believes in himself. This is followed by other works to highlight important issues: ambition and purpose in Chinua Achebe\'s Things Fall Apart,About the AuthorS Manikutty has specialised in Business Policy and Strategy in his doctorate and teaching. His areas of interest include strategic management and competitive strategy, leadership, global competitiveness of industries, corporate governance, and strategies for family businesses.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
