International leadership guru Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D., is exceptionally prolific. His new book is Success Tools for CEO Coaches: Be a Learner, Leader and Ladder.
Success Tools has been recommended by an array of leadership and management experts. It’s an excellent addition to the bookshelf of anyone seeking to improve their service—and leadership.
I’m honored to have contributed the foreword to this fine book.
If I might be forgiven from quoting from that foreword, I would emphasize the following among the reasons to commend this book to your attention:
In this book, International Leadership Guru, Professor M.S. Rao has turned his formidable powers to one of the great practical challenges of leadership: continuous improvement. He challenges us to see familiar things in new ways. He guides us to recognize that apparently disparate phenomena constitute an integrated system.
Professor Rao points the reader to wisdom derived from a variety of sources. These include the author’s wide ranging personal experiences. He also looks to the experiences of accomplished individuals, from today’s world to historic leaders. The book is structured from the point of view of the readers it serves. It begins by making the case for preparation as a foundation for practical leadership. He then moves through the range of leadership competencies. He sprinkles breadcrumbs for us to move, in our journeys, from learner to leader to ladder. Each phase is about serving more people, more effectively, at a deeper level.
This book is compelling for anyone at any stage of their leadership journey. There is great value to be mined in this comprehensive manual. Whether you’re an aspiring CEO or simply someone who wants to serve more effectively in your existing work and personal relationships, you will find serviceable inspiration.
As you create your own masterpiece of service—becoming the leader only you can be—Professor M.S. Rao’s book can be a lifelong companion.
