Every leader wants to be equipped with the magic formula to be successful. What makes a leader successful? Many books have been written with an aim to offer the magic potion that will help them become successful. Many broach the theme of whether leaders are born or made. Going with the belief that leaders can be made, this book presents perspectives on the essential characteristics required of any leader to be successful. A leader with a strong character is a prerequisite to make a difference. Without a strong sense of integrity and ethics, a leader cannot bring about any change. Moreover, since he/she serves as a role model for employees as well as external stakeholders, he has to have a strong sense of ethics. In addition to character, there are other elements of behavior which he must pay equal attention to. These behaviors pertain to interpersonal conduct, being perceived as an approachable and likeable leader, being sensitive to others’ values etc. While leaders have to be equipped with technical skills and business skills to be able to achieve success in their chosen fields, they need to be equally good in the art of interpersonal skills. This book focuses on the essential skills required of a leader to be successful. Business teachers, business students and anyone who holds a leadership position in any capacity would find this book to be worthwhile reading.
