A critical review of the book: "The Leader Who Had No Title" Written by Robin Sharma

There is a book written and now it is becoming popular all over the world. The name of the book is The Leader Who Had No Title: A Modern Fable About Real Success in Business and in Life and it is written by Robin Sharma. Robin Sharma, the author, has since waged a worldwide campaign with the book announcing to the world that we are now leaving an era of untitled leaders.

The message of the book at the most basic level is good and provides a reasonable appeal for people to be masters of their destiny, whether by living their own lives as entrepreneurs, without connection to the cruel cultures of impersonal companies, or even though people don’t go. on their own as entrepreneurs, they can still stay in these big impersonal companies and seek peace not in the companies and their bosses, but in their hearts. And the peace that comes from their hearts will serve as an antidote to a cruel and hostile work life of being under the command of the boss.

But something that undermines this profound message of the book is the author’s constant reference to “great CEOs of great companies.” The author talks about great CEOs of great companies and the author’s message is that readers should follow the examples of these CEOs: lead like them. That is the problem with the book and the seminars that the author gives. It seems as if this is the story of a dog chasing his own tail. Let me explain; The author begins by explaining that the old command and control leadership is dead, and this is the leadership style of CEOs. And how will the author then refer his readers to the traits of great CEOs when he has already written them off?

Like all of Robin Sharma’s other recent books, “The Leader Who Had No Title: A Modern Fable About Real Success in Business and Life” is an extension of his most successful book, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. It comes across as a drama where you have teachers teach and guide a discouraged bookstore worker, eventually transforming this bookstore worker into a big star inside the bookstore.

The message of the book can be misleading, because it seems that you can assimilate the wisdom and guidance of the great teachers and automatically instantly become a better person. In real life that is not so. There is often a time lag from the time you have immersed yourself in some great teaching to the time you become better. Sometimes it is a slow evolutionary process. The Harvard study on the formation of an expert can be brought into the picture here, the study reveals that it takes about ten thousand hours to become an expert, which on average in an average person, including normal common daily things what we do: sleep, time with friends, these ten thousand hours can be ten years in a person’s life.
