Audio Book Review - 'Break Free the Leader Within' by Ravish Mani

Author Ravish Mani, in his book “Break Free the Leader Within” shares a highly inspirational case of leadership. It is a well-researched book on an unbelievable case of how a mother who had a left-handed daughter won a battle that is now useful to many other children.

Through the case study, the author tries to bring to light the various traits that leaders possess. How ‘leaders first identify the problem and then find a solution’ and look for various ways to bring a solution to the problem. Here, the problem was that the left-handed child was unable to use the sharpener in its conventional way. Any other mother, in this case, would have tried to help her daughter teach how to sharpen a pencil like a right-handed child does but Shweta Singh, here looked at the bigger picture.

She envisioned how every left-handed child must be facing the same negligence just because they are a minority. ‘Leaders never give up till they reach the destination,’ so she began to write letters to companies in India to find a solution to this. Thus, proving that, ‘Effective leaders are measured by their thoughts and not deeds.’ It’s not just about the sharpener but about justice. ‘Leaders start with a purpose’ and ‘Effective leaders make the path when there is none,’ are some very interesting qualities put forth by the author about leaders. I also liked the quotes from Bhagvad Gita and the quote on ‘trust.’

This book is the right dose you need to get inspired and get going. Every beginner must listen to this wonderful audiobook to get some encouragement. Also, it is a short and crisp book that you can listen at your leisure and convenience. Both, the content and the quality of the audiobook is great that makes it a highly recommended one. I appreciate the author for sharing this inspirational incident with all of us. Listen to this audiobook for the detailed description of this very interesting case and which company came to the rescue and proved to be the leader in the market. It would surely inspire you and help you to break free the leader within!
