Synopsis
::

Life in the modern
world is becoming full of paradoxes. Positive
developments in science, computer and IT technology
are altering people’s lives in many ways. Changes
are taking place in the ways people think, behave,
work, act and live. Life styles are changing.
Tremendous social transition is also taking place.
Joint families are breaking and nuclear family
culture is becoming realty. Increasing, people are
becoming intolerant to others’ beliefs and
viewpoints.
|
|
 |
Tremendous
information and knowledge is available from
several sources but wisdom is given a go by.
Brute materialism is making people to work
tirelessly for multiplying possessions.
Basic ethics and values are being thrown by the
wayside.

Intellectually there
is general acceptance and most people pay
lip service to values
like Truth, Honesty, Sincerity, Integrity and Commitment
etc but in real life people feel that to succeed in this
competitive world, these values are meaningless. And yet
every one wants bosses, peers and even juniors – in fact
every one to be honest, truthful and sincere. Prejudice,
arrogance, anger and revenge have overtaken the better of
people. Morals are flouted. A lot of mess is getting
created during our times. A sincere effort in required in
cleaning this mess from society.

In these days of
ruthless competition and expectations of excellence, mere
acquisition of high professional and corporate management
skills is not enough. Ultimately, all success depends on
personal discipline and
individual performance. Whatever
maybe one's skills, one has to know how to manage himself.
Self -discipline is the crux of success. Self disciplined
and socially aware individuals are the back bone of a
civil society.

This book attempts to
show direction to individuals to adopt them selves to a
new kind of leadership - Self Managing Leadership - a
leadership style where individuals do not wait for someone
else to direct or command them to act in a particular way.
It is the kind of leadership that inspires individuals to
have immense faith in themselves and in their capabilities
and hidden potential; to understand the needs of the
situation and act to the best of their capabilities
without being asked to do. Scope of the concept of ‘Self
Managing Leadership’ – self
discipline, duties before rights, personal responsibility
for one’s own actions and behavior
etc are discussed in an effort to motivate individuals who
would care to manage themselves before trying to manage
others.

The purpose of this
book is to inspire and motivate
readers to practice a few basic
core values on which the very foundation of humanity
rests. While efforts are made to avoid being the moral
keeper of the world and give sermons, certain traces of
such elements can not be fully avoided. |
