THE LEADER WHO HAD NO TITLE- ROBIN SHARMA

              I remember picking up this book from a store at a railway station the last time I was in Mangalore. There were two reasons why I picked this book. One, because the author remains one of my personal favorites and two, because of its title. I always thought titles were not important, maybe they are. But Robin Sharma's, 'The Leader Who Had No Title' taught me that they aren't necessary.

               

              The book is based on the author's idea of Leadership. He defines leadership in an eccentric manner; as 'a platform for people to exercise their absolute best as human beings'. It is evident that the book is written with great passion. The author, delivering nothing less, than his very best!

                    

               To put through his message easily, the author has crafted a fable, that is the story of protagonist Blake Davis and his phenomenally exceptional mentor Tommy Flinn. Tommy, a powerful influencer, takes Blake on a journey to learn what 'leading without a title' philosophy actually means. Tommy comes across various other mentors, who through their teachings, transform Tommy into an individual he never thought he could be. The story line keeps the reader interested without divagating from the purpose of having created it.

                  

                 Throughout the book, the author uses various anecdotes and acronyms to make sure his purpose behind spreading the message is thrown out to the readers. He changed the way I looked at things. From stating what life's best pleasures are, to defining leadership, Robin Sharma is set to change your perspective towards things, for the best! He breaks down the idea of people who think they're too small to make a change, and hence don't. Rightly stated that anyone can be successful, only a few choose to be.

                 The book alludes to every being's significance over their "success". The profound ideas inspire the reader to explore one's complete potential by awakening their inner leaders. Through the transformation of Blake Davis' character, I was reminded that the power in human minds is superior to the power conferred by a title, that no role is a small role and that just by making a small change in our way of work and outlook towards things, we can achieve mastery in any walk of life. 

                

              The book sure did change my opinion about leadership; where I thought leadership is difficult and is for the few, but it definitely isn't. It all comes down to having unshakable faith in vision and unrelenting confidence in one's own power. I loved the book most for what it had to say about luck too! From teaching me to practice leadership to helping me build my courage, this book did  help me become the best version of myself. To being content, but never satisfied!

        

                Robin Sharma's, 'The Leader who had no Title' is a powerful tool to every individual out there who knows Mastery awaits them.
