Who says money is not important in life? Of course, it's important, but if the making of it becomes an all-consuming passion, then it could result in the hollowing out of one's meaning and purpose in work and life. Leaders may seek to do good as an expiation of guilt or seek to alleviate the multifarious problems we confront or for inner fulfilment. There may be many ways to seek that meaning and the path that one chooses is one's alone. But, for those who seek the way forward, Suresh Verghis' book offers insights on how one can realise one's meaning and motivations.

'Money' is important, but not everything; how can one, as a great leader, balance it with a well-founded 'purpose'? This requires huge investments in 'self', across many dimensions! Professor Verghis not only explicates these dimensions very skilfully, but also facilitates through creating a personal log book that can transform you into a great leader. Highly recommended and not to be missed by aspiring leaders!
