Book Report of, In Search of Leaders by Hilarie Owen
Why this book?
The selection of this book was a personal choice. The reason why I chose ¡§in search of leaders¡¨ over any other book is that I was extremely intrigued by the subject. During my tenure at work, I was always enamoured by the way some particular mentors from the industry conducted themselves and the organisation lending a cohesive spirit to their teams and consummating their personal and professional goals. Such mettle was something that I wished to incorporate and internalise over a period of time. I supposed that¡¦s just what leaders are made of! That¡¦s the reason why I chose the subject to read on.
The reason why I chose this book in particular is that I was intrigued by the way the book targeted its subject. The cover page also revealed to some degree the focus of the book. What is essentially portrays is that introspection will convey that leadership is prevalent within. So the search of leaders begins by looking within oneself.
