Off late I've been reading this biography of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw where I got to know about a few charismatic traits in his character that made him a gem of a Leader. 1. Honesty 2. Mutual Respect3. No ego4. FirmnessA leader is not the one who only leads.. infact a Leader is the one whom everyone obeys without any doubt. Building this level of trust is hard, but Sam did it pretty well &amp; the outcome was visible.

Qualities of a Leader

The book is a reflection on Sam Manekshaw, his character traits, sense of humour, moral and professional courage and the enigma that made up his personality. It presents a unique insight to his thinking and his style of dealing with a spectrum of situations from the sublime to the mundane. Above all, it portrays his humility, his honesty and his respect for men in uniform, regardless of rank. It is anecdotal and an easy read as it walks you through his life from childhood to the pinnacle of glory.
