About this book
Since time immemorial, leadership has charted the destinies of nations and organisations for better or worse. While the world has transformed in every conceivable way in the last one hundred years, the principles of leadership have stood the test of time.The volatility and complexity of the regional and international environment are the new normal. This has necessitated a de novo examination of leadership challenges in the context of the VUCA environment and the digital revolution.The 15 chapters which comprise this offering cover a wide canvas of the nuances and imperatives of leadership, matched with outstanding authors of proven credentials. The book, while being focussed on military leadership, should also appeal to a wider cross-section of academia, governance professionals, the corporate world and all other fields where leadership plays a defining role.The Indian Armed Forces are the ultimate guarantors of the nation's security and well-being. How this instrument of last resort performs will be determined by the leadership that steers the organisation in peace and leads it in war. The concluding part of this book examines how to produce leaders who are steadfast and visionary, who will measure up to the highest standards of military skills, and who possess the strength of character and mental resilience to carry the burdens that modern warfare conditions impose.
