Recently I had a chance to go through a book authored by Robin Sharma titled "The Leader who Had No Title".
There lies no doubt in Robin Sharma's dexterity which clearly reflects from his writings. In this book, he evidently insists on the fact that leadership is all about understanding the fundamentals and not allowing the ego of one's title take over one's intellect; ignoring the opinion of the subordinates. It is an idea which defies the adage that you need to hold a title to drive a change. Every single person in a business gets an opportunity to not just work but also show leadership quality within his work. In many ways, the whole idea behind Leading without a Title is the democratization of leadership.
He doesn't shy away from vindicating that designations are important too for smooth operation of a business. The new model of leadership actually talks about creation of a culture where one feels motivated enough to lead from the front instead of sitting back and being a passive onlooker. If one can't lead oneself, how can he/she lead others? A true leader is someone who can instigate such a thought among his team members. The best leaders are more interested in growing more leaders instead of caressing their title. The moment you think you are the master, you lose the mastery.
