The Writer Secondary, The Cause Primary

 

The Writer Secondary, The Cause Primary

“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” – Albert Einstein

Human beings, as social creatures, thrive on connection. And while the means of connection have evolved—especially through the digital revolution—the essence of meaningful connection remains timeless.

Value-Based Leadership is opening doors of connection across the world. Its title has reached senior executives and heads of organizations, and I am humbled by their responses. Some have spoken with me directly, offering valuable suggestions to expand its reach. One senior executive, a U.S. citizen, even shared his intention to place a copy of the book in a library in New Jersey. Once his review is received, I will share it with you. Already, several reviews have appeared on digital platforms, affirming that many are walking this path. Their encouragement energizes me.

Today, Dr. Chandreshwar—former senior executive at Tata Motors, a distinguished figure in Training and Development, and visiting professor at XLRI Jamshedpur—said to me: “Talking with you, I get a feeling of divine connection.” Hearing these words filled me with gratitude. Such moments remind me that this journey is not about personal recognition, but about advancing the cause of value-based leadership.

As I have often written, treat me as secondary—the subject itself is primary. The process of developing this book was one chapter; now, watching how it finds its way into the hands and hearts of people committed to this cause is another. I enjoy witnessing this journey unfold, just as I had envisioned. It is a collective movement, a shared aspiration, and I am grateful to be part of it.

Leadership rooted in values becomes a shared legacy, and when values lead, leadership itself becomes timeless.
