Why Leadership Begins Where Control Ends. Sameer Gudhate reviews Level 10 Leader by Nikhil Tripathi

Most careers prepare people to do the work. Very few prepare them for the moment when their success depends on helping others do it.That gap sits at the heart of Nikhil Tripathi’s Level 10 Leader. It is a gap familiar to anyone who has watched a high-performing individual contributor become a manager overnight and discover that competence and leadership are not interchangeable skills. The promotio...

A Soldier’s Greatest Battle Was Not on the Battlefield: Sameer Gudhate Reviews From Reveille to Retr

Most military defeats are analysed after they happen. Maps are redrawn, reports are written, blame is assigned. What is far rarer is discovering a man who predicted the defeat in advance, documented his concerns, and then watched those warnings disappear into bureaucratic silence.That unsettling reality sits at the heart of From Reveille to Retreat, the autobiography of Lieutenant General S. P. P....

Sameer Gudhate Presents the Book Review of The Tanishq Story: How Trust Changed the Way India Bought

There is an old habit in Indian households that rarely gets questioned. When a wedding is being planned, a festival approaches, or a daughter’s future is discussed, someone eventually says, “Let’s go to our jeweller.”Not a jewellery store. Not a brand.Our jeweller.The phrase carries generations of trust, familiarity, and inherited loyalty. It describes a relationship that survived economic upheava...

The Hidden Cost of Ambition: Sameer Gudhate Reviews The Balanced Leader Part 1 by Yusuf Poonawala

There is a peculiar irony in modern success. The more ambitious people become, the less likely they are to admit exhaustion. Burnout is discussed openly, yet often worn as a badge of honour. Calendars overflow, notifications multiply, and the ability to remain constantly busy is frequently mistaken for evidence of importance. Somewhere along the way, achievement stopped being a destination and bec...

Sameer Gudhate Reflects on The Far Acre: The Quiet Work Nobody Applauds

The page had barely settled after a chapter when I looked up from my office desk and noticed the silence. Not the dramatic kind. Just the familiar stillness that arrives when you work alone for long enough. The soft hum of the air conditioner. A half-empty water bottle beside the keyboard. A notebook lying open with a few unfinished thoughts waiting to be revisited. I found myself staring at those...

Sameer Gudhate on Why The Rise Within Feels Less Like a Leadership Book and More Like Watching an Or

The first thing I noticed while reading The Rise Within was not ambition. It was fatigue. The kind that settles quietly into a person after too many site meetings, too many delayed calls, too many mornings where your shoes carry yesterday’s dust into a new day. I was reading this book late at night with the balcony window slightly open, and at one point, the distant sound of construction work from...

Sameer Gudhate on the Soldier Who Tried to Warn a Nation

There’s a moment in every Indian household connected to the armed forces when history stops being a chapter in a textbook and becomes deeply personal. Sometimes it arrives through an old photograph in uniform. Sometimes through a trunk filled with fading documents. Sometimes through the way a father falls silent when a war is mentioned on television.While reading From Reveille to Retreat by Lt. Ge...

Sameer Gudhate Rethinks Leadership: What If Delegation Is Holding You Back?

There’s a moment every working professional knows too well — the moment when your plate is overflowing, your inbox is a battlefield, and the easiest escape feels like handing something off to someone else. Relief, instant and tempting. I walked into Never Delegate Again expecting that familiar conversation around efficiency and smarter task management. What I didn’t expect was to feel quietly conf...

Sameer Gudhate on The Unscripted Leader: Not a Guide. A Mirror.

There’s a certain moment in your professional life… when advice stops helping.Not because it’s wrong — but because it’s too clean for the mess you’re standing in.That’s the space I found myself in while reading The Unscripted Leader by Paparao Chintalapudi.This isn’t the kind of book that tells you what to do.It quietly shifts something more uncomfortable — how you think when there is no clear ans...

Sameer Gudhate on Why Purpose-Driven Leadership Doesn’t Need to Be Loud

There’s a particular kind of leadership story that doesn’t begin in boardrooms.It begins in moments you don’t see — quiet decisions, uncomfortable trade-offs, the kind that don’t make headlines but shape everything that follows.Reading A CEO’s Brew, I found myself thinking less about the scale of $60 billion… and more about the weight of the choices behind it.That’s where A CEO’s Brew by Sanjiv Me...
