This will become your living book which will become a personal guide, a personal Master and will stay with you until you realize your inner potential. You will find new meanings to the same lines as you approach it each time when you go through this book. Until this book you can say that with all so-called leadership programs, workshops and books, becoming a leader has been just a gamble. You may be at the right place at the right time, know the right kind of people and end up with the right kind of job. You are normally given a set of principles, a set of attributes to follow, a set of qualities that you should express, a set of logical ideas that you need to embrace and remember and exhibit. All like a skill set to be developed. But with this book, it will be a guide to lead you to the Truth about You.

Millions of dollars have been spent on both quantitative and qualitative researches to put a frame around leadership. To make leadership a logical science, like a mathematical formula or a formula for a chemical composite. Every time they have seen that it is either a futile effort to put a frame or just that the actual truth is much more sophisticated in its simplicity and uniqueness. Similarly you cannot be given a set of qualities to practice and frame around you which will make you a leader. No.

Typical projects, leaderships will give you a structured logical approach to managing your time, and responding to situations. It is more of an intellectual approach.

To be called a leader by a team, a group, a corporation, a community or country is the most sought after title. There is a kind of fascination or fantasy of fulfillment to be known as a leader of something. Consciously or unconsciously we will try to perfect ourselves to the role or title or certificate even though we realize that this certificate is highly relative.

We are continuously seeking for the ultimate formula just around the corner, just with that one skill, just that one quality if practiced well which will make us the sought after commodity by corporations, We understand that we are a leader if we can lead a group of people towards the common goals of the corporations and if the corporations call us and offer lucrative compensations and benefits so that we could help them setup their infrastructure by motivating a group of people to contribute their skills and knowledge. The bigger the group of followers, the more complicated the task, the more exposure the better.

In October 2003, Business Week had reported that 134 companies from 20 nations spent $210 million to enroll 21,000 employees in executive leadership programs. Since leadership development is not an event, that's a significant investment in classroom activities that may or may not produce company leaders or even better managers. Stanford University is introducing leadership coaching into their MBA program. Companies offer six-months of weekly personal executive coaching to create a positive leadership mindset.

This is just one minute percentage of what is being spent globally now for these programs. Billions of dollars are being spent on these leadership and self development programs by corporations world wide. There are hundreds of books on leadership and hundreds and hundreds of training workshops.
