Discover the secrets of true leadership, including stealth, self-sufficiency, even-temper, training strategies, and justice. You will learn how to lead from those who actually did.
WHAT MAKES A LEADER?
“Leadership is an elusive concept. Nearly everyone is certain that he or she would like the mantle of leadership—whether at home, at work, in competitive events, or all three—but we rarely think through the implications. One of the first questions that requires asking is: Who do you seek to lead and why?”
With the opening words of his introduction, popular voice of alternative spiri¬tuality Mitch Horowitz begins his journey into some of history’s greatest ideas and insights about what makes a leader—and what is required of you to earn that appellation. These works are designed to help you distinguish between function¬ing as a mere boss and being a true leader, a title to which many aspire but few understand. The insights in The Leadership Bible help place you among the few. In this collection, Mitch assembles:
•“LEADERSHIP” by Major C.A. Bach
•THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu, translated by British sinologist Lionel Giles
•“THE LIFE OF CAESAR” by Plutarch, translated by classics scholar Bernadotte Perrin
•THE PRINCE by Niccolò Machiavelli, abridgement based on the translation by Renaissance scholar N.H. Thomson
•“RULES OF CIVILITY” by George Washington
•“POWER” by Ralph Waldo Emerson
•“INITIATIVE AND LEADERSHIP” by Napoleon Hill
•“DECISION” by Napoleon Hill
•THE SCIENCE OF BEING GREAT by Wallace D. Wattles
•A MESSAGE TO GARCIA by Elbert Hubbard
•“THE MAJOR ATTRIBUTES OF LEADERSHIP” by Napoleon Hill
•“THE SURPRISINGLY NOBLE PATH TO POWER” by Mitch Horowitz

Let Brian Tracy, one of the world’s foremost authori¬ties on the subject, introduce you to 6 Essentials To Start and Succeed in Your Own Business, and expose you to the most innovative, current—and most importantly—proven ideas on how to become successful.
The world that we live in today favors the person who organizes and operates a business, and takes on greater than normal financial risks to do so. That person is the entrepreneur.
The average worker holds ten different jobs before age forty, and this number is projected to grow. If you’re in your twenties and thirties, you may forge a second or third career as an entrepreneur; and if you’re in your forties, fifties, or beyond, you will decidedly favor the idea of starting and owning your own business. In fact, fifty-two percent of all small businesses are home-based, and many of those are started and run by people in their mid-career.
So whether you are early in your career or are in mid-career, whether you have ambitions to run a larger business or a very small business, and whether you start a business because it’s your desire or you’re forced to by automation and layoffs, entrepreneurship is more likely than ever to be a part of your future.
Let Brian Tracy, one of the world’s foremost authorities on the subject, introduce you to 6 Essentials To Start and Succeed in Your Own Business, and expose you to the most innovative, current—and most importantly—proven ideas on how to become successful.
Use your knowledge of The 6 Essentials to race ahead of the competition and take advantage of all of the modern options readily available to you . . . and create a busi¬ness that is successful and sustainable for the long term.
Today, every business is talking about digital transformation. With the acceleration of new technologies, every organization knows it must adapt to survive. But by their own admission, 70 percent of businesses are failing to transform. Across industries, established companies are held back by bureaucracy, inertia, and old ways of working. How can businesses break through to drive real change?
The Digital Transformation Roadmap provides every leader with the answer. Acclaimed author and C-suite advisor David L. Rogers argues that businesses must transform not just products and business models—they must transform the organization itself. Based on two decades of research and advising companies around the world, Rogers identifies the five biggest barriers to digital transformation: vision, priorities, experimentation, governance, and capabilities. He then shows how any business can evolve by heeding the lessons of companies such as Disney, Walmart, Mastercard, Air Liquide, and the New York Times Company.
The Digital Transformation Roadmap provides a practical blueprint for organizational change, illustrated with real-world case studies and step-by-step planning tools. Rogers shows every leader how to think beyond the churn of new technologies and rebuild their organization for a world of constant change.
Just how much black money is there in India?
Estimates vary from 10 per cent to 20 per cent of our GDP. Conservatively, Rs 15 lakh crore (10 per cent of Rs 150 lakh crore, our GDP in 2016-17).
As for Indian money in tax havens around the world? Around Rs 65 lakh crore. Truly astounding figures.
Black money or kala dhan is a topic that has elicited much debate in recent times. This has been mostly marked by mudslinging and name-calling, and the discussions that have ensued often have no basis in fact. While most people have a hazy notion of black money, only a few understand it in its entirety.
The issue of tax havens is perhaps even more misunderstood. Most people fail to see the connection between tax havens and black money. Black Money and Tax Havens is the first work that discusses both of these issues in depth and offers a 360-degree view to the reader.
In this work, R. Vaidyanathan provides the reader with a brief overview of black money-its generation, its estimates and how and why it is spirited away to tax havens. He also lays bare the danger that is posed to world financial well-being on account of the lack of political will to tackle these issues. A unique and timely work, this book packs in much information in an accessible manner.
In the 1980s, the steel produced in India was not cost-effective, plagued by quality issues and unable to meet the standards required to take India a step ahead in its development goals.
Enter Jamshed Jiji Irani, fondly known as ‘Doc’ to all, whose efforts aimed at modernizing Tata Steel changed everything. Today, Tata Steel produces low-cost, high-quality metal of international standards. Under his leadership, Tata Steel ushered India into a new age of economic growth. But his story doesn’t end there. A leading industrialist, Irani was keenly involved in the 1990s economic liberalization that put India on the global map. He held positions on various Tata boards, and was part of the Confederation of Indian Industry and several other government-appointed committees. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan and an honorary knighthood by the British government for his work.
Behind his formidable exterior was a man with a big heart and a fondness for life. He was a man of integrity and conviction, devoted to Tata Steel and the people there. The chapters that make up Doctor Steel—the result of freewheeling conversations between Irani and N.K. Sharan in the months before the former’s passing—look back at this journey.

In the monsoon regions of South Asia, the rainy season sustains life but brings with it the threat of floods, followed by a long stretch when little gainful work is possible and the threat of famine looms too. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, a series of interventions by the Indian government and other actors mitigated these conditions, thus enabling agricultural growth, encouraging urbanization and bringing about a permanent decrease in death rates. But these actions—largely efforts to ensure wider access to water—came at a cost to environmental sustainability. In Monsoon Economy, Tirthankar Roy explores the interaction between the environment and the economy in the emergence of modern India.
Roy argues that the tropical monsoon climate makes economic and population growth contingent on water security. But in a water-scarce world, the means used to increase water security not only created environmental stresses but also made political conflict more likely. Highlighting the importance of water as a public good, the author critically analyses issues such as water quality in cities, the shift from impounding river water in dams and reservoirs to exploring groundwater, and the seasonality of a monsoon economy. He also draws economic lessons from India for a world facing environmental degradation.
