The author analyses the changing paradigms and provides a down-to-earth, realistic blueprint to acquire the relevant leadership traits. Corporations do not have the option to wait; they have to re-align themselves with the new reality – now.

Based on substantial research and analysis, the book is full of path-breaking innovative concepts such as:

- ‘Seven Prime Realities’ that adversely impact our businesses and lives.

- ‘Four Quadrant Matrix’ to make the right choice, every time.
- ‘Five Circles of Leadership Attitudes’ to assess where you are.

The author makes a compelling case that those who embrace the new realism will achieve sustained profitability for their companies and ‘Triple Top Line’ of joy, peace, and contentment in their personal lives.

The book would inspire every CEO and every aspiring CEO to map out his or her own personal path to becoming an exceptional leader. It is a pioneering endeavour to bring the CEO’s personal value system into mainstream dialogue and to convince why corporate objectives can no longer disregard society’s interests.
