The Leader Who Had No Title: A Modern Fable on Real Success in Business and in Life

This book, especially for those that know what it is to serve their country, ties emotional reaction to life lessons. I honestly believe that if you tell someone something they will remember it for only the next few minutes to an hour. If you teach them something they may remember it for a week to a year. But if you can involve emotion they will remember it for a life time. For those that live in the illusion that peace and freedom come without sacrifice this book will appear as a corny fraud. For those who have represented our country to ensure the life style we see so many take for granted, the book will imprint powerful lessons through emotion. I have read many books on self-improvement. They are all great; but one thing seems to always get me. They all ask up front for huge life changes. This in fact is usually a recipe for failure. Going into a gym and working your heart out on the first day will cause damage so painful that it will prevent all from perusing fitness. If a person however takes small steps in the right direction, they will eventually get to the point where they can compete in body building competitions without having to consistently talk themselves into working out. This is because they do not have to justify the high level of pain. Success and continual reading is the path way for success. Reading this book had the one key for me, to bring all of the self-improvement lessons I have had together. This may or may not be the book to trigger the best in you. The only way to find out is to read it. The lesson that was the trigger for me was, dream big and take small steps. Even one goal success a day is progress in the right direction. I was trying to implement too much at one time consistently and failed continuously. Now I am not focused on being perfect but focused on eating one small success goal at a time. My life has already dramatically changed for the better. For those that see this as a book to give optimal work for no more pay. Your heart is in the wrong place, as it is not about your boss or your pay. It is about being your personal best. When you are your personal best you will be happier with yourself. To me, being happy is way more important than being rich. Yes, money can buy cool things and make life easier; but it does not deliver any form of permanent satisfaction. Also it does not remove regret of a life not fully lived. I highly recommend this book for those that have military service and their family members. I also recommend this book for those looking to be their personal best and are trying to be happy in all areas of their lives. James

This a great book on leadership. It gives you great principles to follow to develop you leadership skills and to build teams that will follow.

Robin Sharma's book on "Leader who had no title" talks about awakening the inner leader in each one of us. Naturally everyone has the power to lead, influence and leave everything they touch better than they found it. We all have an inner leader longing to break free. In a very simple way the author puts how whatever work we do from whichever position can make a difference. In this book the author re-instates that 'Daily ripples of excellence - over time - become a tsunami of success'. Through his simple and comprehensive style, Robin Sharma, enlists the essential tips to bring out the inner leadership of individuals, through a story. This is a story about the hero Blake Davis, who had lost everything when his parents were killed. He had lost sense of purpose and meaning in life. For him employment was a vehicle to pay bills and pass time until he met his mentor Tommy Flinn and the four extra-ordinary teachers who transformed the way he worked and lived by awakening his inner leader. Once the natural power in him awakened he was not the same person again. Through his book Robin Sharma encourages us to Work at wow level and live full-out. Take personal responsibility for each of the current responsibility, for each of the current conditions that we are experiencing. He demonstrates that there cannot be break-through for any person without suffering a period of break-down. It's up to us to switch between victim-hood and leadership. He clearly explains how the more we own our power to make choice the more powerful our choices become. Greatest freedom each one of us has is the freedom to choose how we view our roles in the world and the power we all have to make positive decisions in whatever conditions we happen to find ourselves. We cannot be creative, innovative if we are too scared to think, feel and be different. We need to be original. It ends with the message small group of thoughtful committed citizens can only change the world. This book is a must read for all aspiring leaders.

The book itself: amazing, it's by Robin Sharma and that already says a lot. Ordering it online: quick service, excellent condition of the book. Keep up with the good job! Ale

In today's world we miss real leaders. Robin show us the roadmap to become a great leader without being at the head of a company or a department. Must read.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It' wasn't anything new to me, but the reminder was well received. It's told in a story so it's enjoyable to read and learn at the same time. Love it.

Excellent book, Robin Sharma is an inspirational author

I finished the book and it has made a great impact on how I think about leadership. I purchased Robin Sharma's other book, "The 5am Club" and looking forward to learn about ways on how to elevate life.
