This book is for Leaders, who want to enhance their leadership impact. This book is for a leader who wants to get better at the nuances of leadership, the subtle aspects that bring disproportional outcomes, enhancing their leadership impact significantly.

Generally, Leaders have done the heavy lifting and reached certain orbits, operating from a certain coordinate. Now, to continue and move on to higher orbits, to move and operate from another desired coordinate, leaders need to address the nuances, the subtler aspects of leadership presence.

It’s like this – In a satellite launch, the booster rockets consume bulk of the fuel to enter space and reach the satellite to desired orbit; That’s the heavy lifting the leaders have already done.  Now, they need to fire the thrusters in a very calibrated, deliberate, decisive way – in specific angles and directions, for nano seconds – to adjust their position, reposition themselves, avoid other flying objects, gain elevation, move orbits and so on.

Working on Leadership presence is like firing the thrusters – in a conscious, calibrated way, attending to the nuances and finer aspects of leadership, to move orbits, and get to desired coordinates, influencing outcomes substantially.

Nuances matter in leadership. Leaders have to focus on leadership presence to address that.

When leaders enhance their leadership presence, the impact is substantial. That’s why this book. This book addresses the specific aspects of Leadership presence. And how one could enhance that, consciously.

  • This book is focused on Leadership Presence. To that extent it’s different from books on leadership.
  • This book is written on a read-a-page-a-day format. The book is designed to facilitate reading, reflecting, internalising, and putting what’s read into practice. It allows the reader to reflect upon what’s read on a particular day, adapt, and make necessary changes to what’s being practiced. And go step by step towards enhancing their leadership presence over a period of time.
  • In this book, each Topic i.e., a particular aspect or an angle or a variable of a Theme (Themes such as simplifying or difficult conversation), is covered in a page, with 200 topics in 200 pages, to be read over 200 days. This is deliberate, so that different aspects of a theme, different angles to it, are understood one at a time – improving the comprehension and resulting in better awareness making its application easier.

Also, different aspects of the same theme do not appear in a sequential manner in continuous pages. They are scattered and spread across the book in different pages. And that’s intentional.

Each Topic i.e., each page is stand-alone; it doesn’t have any connect, or link with any other page(s). In a way one could read any page any day. And that’s ok. Sequential reading has little relevance in this book.

  • This book is not about a new concept in leadership. It’s about practical ways. It’s about daily life. It’s about inspiring more, influencing more, and impacting more, consciously as a leader.

This book is written in a manner to provoke thoughts, allow reflection, and choose consciously what I need to do or not to do, going forward.

  • Brevity being one of the key aspects in enhancing one’s leadership presence, the book is tailormade to suit a leader’s schedule. One could read a Topic, i.e, a page, quite quickly – in 30 to 40 seconds on an average. Therefore, reading a-page-a-day and reflecting upon it, is quite possible for leaders even on a busy day.

To benefit fully, readers are encouraged to read one Topic, i.e., one page, a day. Reflect honestly on it in their unique context and choose what to do / what not to do in a conscious way. Over a period, as readers go through multiple Topics and Themes, they gain / enhance their leadership presence.

What probably would not help readers is to read it all like a normal book and finish it in 2 hours.
