The basic premise of the book is that everyone is a leader,' says author. “Some people lead teams, some lead armies or countries. But we all lead a life. And the quality of your life depends squarely on the leader. On you,' he adds.
The Secret of Leadership: Stories to Awaken, Inspire And Unleash the Leader Within draws on examples from everyday life, the competitive world of sport and the animal world to extract lessons such as the value of being passionate and disciplined, pushing yourself to do better, learning from failure and being resilient. Iyer is the managing director of Kimberly Clark Lever, Pune. He has previously authored The Habit of Winning.

There’s a story about a mother giraffe kicking its newborn baby that can teach us the importance of roughing it out early in life and quickly learning to stand on our feet.

We probably know these lessons, but have forgotten them somewhere along the way. The frogs and the giraffes and the tea bag help remind us of those lessons, and bring them to life in a way that’s easy to relate to, and hard to forget. What kind of advice can professionals take away from the competitive world of sport?

But in my head, I don’t see the fielders. I only see the gaps!' We could all take a leaf from his book. Don’t look at the obstacles in life.
Look for the opportunities. What do two-footed footballers and corporate leaders have in common? We can all find success by playing to our strengths. But there’s a terrific lesson to be learnt from a study that shows that two-footed footballers—people who are able to use both feet equally well—earn far more than people who are strong with one foot.
