How to Lead Yourself, Your People, and Your Organization for Extraordinary Results

by Rasmus Hougaard & Jacqueline Carter.

Publisher : Harvard Business, (2018)

“In this beautifully constructed and deeply relatable book, Hougaard and Carter remind us of a deep and profound truth to unlock performance in organizations : the power of a leader’s ability to bring presence and fulfill our most basic human needs for connection, meaning, and purpose in an increasingly busy and disconnected world” – PATRICIA WALLACE, Director, Leadership, Talent & Organization Development, Disney University.

I borrowed this book from the UTMKL Library perhaps around 2018-2019. I am fond of Harvard Business Review articles and books. If I remember it clearly, I’ve emailed the librarian in charge about this publication and appealed them to buy. It is my luck that they still have some budget left towards the year end and this is how I feed my curiosity. Thank you UTMKL Library.

This book suits me well. I am in a “leadership” position now. There is no reason to be shy or ashamed about doing what you loved most. I have been working more than two decades in the public university and it has brought me a lot of challenges and opportunities since the kick off of my career as an administrative officer.

In this initial post, I shared few slides pertaining the brief take away message coined from the Foreword by Arne Sorenson, President and Chief Executive Officer, Marriot International.
