Don' t think outside the box. Do away with the box itself! The 10X Leader: Breaking the Rules of Conventional Leadership explores the 21st-century universe and exhorts new-age leaders to discard the traditional incrementalism of 10 per cent growth and develop a 10X mindset that aspires for making 10X impact and bringing about transformational changes in the way we live and experience life. With the help of stories and anecdotes, this book aids contemporary leaders to get rid of the Industrial Age mindsets and upgrade their internal software by cultivating new beliefs and practices relevant to the knowledge society of our times. It offers a refreshing perspective that has a huge potential of transforming lives and societies.
' If you want to navigate through the leadership challenges of the 21st century, The 10X Leader is just the book for you. In a down-to-earth manner, it tells you how to hack the future and bring it to the present to create a better future for people and the planet. ' -- T. S. Vijayan * Former Chairman, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India * ' This book offers a fresh and compelling definition of leadership and powerful new insights into how we can develop as leaders in the knowledge economy. It offers current and emerging leaders a comprehensive and unique model and practical resources for enhancing their personal leadership effectiveness in their journey of inspiring transformational change in the world around them. It is an essential read-even for those who have already read a lot about leadership-as we owe it to the people we lead to try to improve as leaders. ' -- Dinesh Mehrotra * Former Chairman, Life Insurance Corporation of India * ' Amid the deluge of books on leadership, The 10X Leader is one that talks in a different voice. Going beyond the Newtonian world view, it introduces us to a new genre of quantum leaders, who lead with both their left-brain and right-brain skills and utilize the fundamental values of love, joy, peace and hope in achieving their goals. Not satisfied with incremental growth, they utilize their human ingenuity to usher in transformational changes in the way we live and experience life. It is a must-read for new-age leaders, as well as for students of strategy and leadership!' -- Dr Bigyan Verma * Director, South Indian Education Society, College of Management Studies, Navi Mumbai * ' The 10X Leader is an insightful book that approaches to redefine the attributes which people grow up learning and believing about leadership, ever since such a role got its significance in all walks of life even beyond the corporate, administrative and political structures. Mr Verma makes a compelling case why the current top-down leadership needs a reboot and introduces his framework, eight rules and a prescription for transformational (as he calls it 10X) leadership. It is a good read with good references. I highly recommend it to practitioners for thoughts on new-age leadership. ' -- M. Balachandran * Former Chairman, Bank of India and National Payments Corporation of India * ' Very few men and women, who have had conventional grooming as business leaders, would find themselves prepared today to appreciate and meet the challenges of the VUCA world. They need different sets of skills and insight. Dr Verma' s mantra of whole-brain leadership to lead through these challenging times is not only fascinating but also extremely relevant. The guru tells the emerging as well as incumbent leaders how to create holistic solutions by utilizing and balancing both the left-brain skills (facts, logic and analysis) and right-brain skills (curiosity, intuition and imagination). It is a breakthrough idea indeed!' -- Kamalji Sahay * Author (The LIC Story); Columnist (The Financial Express);Former MD and CEO, Star Union Dai-ichi Life * ' Ideas, beliefs, competencies, co-creation and the new-genre leadership traits to lead the new universe are very well portrayed by Dr Pawan Verma through his book The 10X Leader. Gone are the days of command and control; the new-age leaders have to inspire and promote creativity and diversity amid their teams and lead with their shared values and beliefs. The book has a beautiful flow, lucid language and well-researched examples! I highly recommend it to both students of leadership and leadership professionals!' -- Dr Lakshmi Mohan * Director, ITM Business School, Navi Mumbai * ' In the maze of widely echoed leadership theories and definitions,we all have realized that leading today has become more onerous than ever before. With the rules of the game constantly evolving and "future of work" appearing to be way different from its current form, this thought-provoking book tells us why and suggests the additional strengths required by leaders for navigating their teams and organizations through the most challenging times in human history. No matter at what level you are in your organization, you will love to read this book. ' -- Girish Kulkarni * Deputy CEO, Dai-ichi Life International Holdings, Tokyo, Japan * ' The 10X Leader is an insightful book that tells us why traditional leadership models are proving to be inadequate for today and tomorrow. With interesting anecdotes, Dr Verma makes a compelling case for a paradigm shift from the leader-follower model to a leader-leader model of organizational relationships, from the command and control style of the Industrial Age to the distributed and collaborative leadership model for today' s knowledge economy and business environment. It is an essential read for all students and practitioners of leadership!' -- Dr R. Ramakrishnan * Chairman, Transformia Advisors; Former Chief Executive, Polycab India Ltd * ' This book makes you think about leadership in an entirely new way. By applying the features of new physics, it helps you understand the post-modern sensibilities and the way to respond to the disruptions in the environment. In particular,I liked the relevance of 10X leadership in the contemporary world and what goes behind making a 10X leader. It is a very useful guide for new-age leaders. ' -- Manish Mimani * Founder and CEO, Protectt. ai *
