Secret of Leadership

Bestselling author Prakash Iyer uses simple but powerful anecdotes and parables from all over the world to demonstrate what makes for effective personal and professional leadership. Iyer draws lessons from sources as diverse as his driver, a mother giraffe, Abraham Lincoln and footballers in the United Kingdom. He shows how an instinct to lead can be acquired even while flipping burgers at a fast-food chain. All of these stories come together in an explosive cocktail to unleash your inner leader.

Passionate about people--and cricket-- Prakash is also a motivational speaker and trained leadership coach. An MBA from IIM Ahmedabad, he is married to Savitha, and they have twin children, Shruti and Abhishek.
