Description
It’s time to “Lead Forward.”
In the past, business leadership was strictly an autocratic proposition. But times have changed, and companies are just discovering they must change with them. In Chase Greatness: Enlightened Leadership for the Next Generation of Disruption, CEO Rajeev Kapur reveals how most business leadership is out of step with evolving times and values—which has negatively impacted both the effectiveness of our workforces as well as the bottom line.
The good news is it’s never too late to “Chase Greatness” in your leadership role. Kapur provides a powerful toolbox of practical advice that will enable you to not only be profitable but also reflect values that will enhance lives and make the world a better place.

Review:
This book talks about how to become a great leader and how to achieve greatness. I really loved reading this book. I’ll be reading it more in my life. I have never had an interest in being a leader or a manager. This book makes me reconsider that. It makes me feel like I could achieve great things. I guess that’s the point of the book. I fully recommend this book. Especially for those looking to lead.
Chase Greatness challenges leaders to walk the talk and recognize that they lead people and in relationship with people you have to lead in a way that engages and builds trust. The author shares some key areas that speak especially to today's work generations but the truth is the characteristics are ageless in an empowering leader who seeks to build trust with their teammates.
The book is written in a readable style and is good reading for anyone new to management or for those who need a brush up on engaging their teams and building trust.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
While the book had a lot of great stories and advice, it felt dated already due to the references to the pandemic.
Unfortunately, some of the people the author chose to highlight as enlightened leaders have turned out to be the opposite. The book doesn't age well.
This business book is surprisingly well-written while being packed with statistics, examples, stories, and questions to ask yourself and/or your team. I especially appreciate how the author explains that generational behavior of disengaging from the workplace, not because of the reasons we get fed by the media but because of IMO extremely valid reasons like values matter and companies put profits over their people and the world they live in. I've already started going back to highlight references.
