On the launch of book, Professor T V Rao told SightsIn Plus, “Are leaders born or made? If the answer is made, then can leadership be taught and learned? These and other similar questions are the focus of this book which reviews the research in both leadership development and education.”
“We also realized that leaders are leaders not only in the HR profession but anywhere. A leader in any business context goes through a slew of experiences, positive as well as negative. A good leader demonstrates the ability to manage these experiences and learn life-changing lessons. We call these Crucible Experiences.” He added.
This book brings some fresh insights into how to make and become more effective leaders and it is a must-read for you.
