The book is about the journey:
Someone else made me a manager;
I alone can make myself a leader
That’s “Awakening”
Trauma of a loss!
Triumph of an achievement!
A nation, an industry, or an individual
of triumph without trauma?

How did we get here?
Have we lost the sense that we have lost something?
Have we lost the sense that we CAN win?

There is a mountain to climb…
Let’s hear the story …
Grew up in a middle-class family
National volleyball & football player
24 year old, looking for a job
On a train to Delhi for CISF test & interview
Thugs enter the wagon and start robbing
What happened next?
Physical trauma subsiding
Adding insult to injury
On the hospital bed, frustrated & helpless
What went through your mind?
What did you decide to do?
& Why?
Once you decided to climb the Everest, how did
you start?
Did you seek help?
How did you train?
When did you know that you were ready?
So, you have trained well and you are at the
base camp
Describe your attempt to climb the Everest
Against so many odds, you have conquered the
world’s tallest mountain!
How does it feel and what next?
Your final message to the audience?
Humanizing the leader =
Leaderizing Self =
Lessons of Leadership
Singularizing success =
Aggrandizing the person =
Externalizing leadership =
Then, It Is Not Me!
Then, Why Not Me?
That’s “Awakening”
Thank you!
