By Robin Sharma
Robin Sharma’s ‘The Leader Who Had No Title’ is a powerful guide that challenges the conventional understanding of leadership. In a world where titles often define one’s authority, Sharma presents a refreshing perspective: true leadership isn’t about a title; it’s about the impact one makes regardless of position.
1. You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader: Leadership is about influence and making a difference, not about holding a particular position or title.
2. Success Is a Byproduct of Excellence: When you consistently give your best in everything you do, success follows naturally.

4. Focus on Building Relationships* The quality of your relationships at work and in life is a key indicator of your overall success.
