Hello, readers🙋 Welcome back to the Bookodidact🙏 Here is another summary of the chapter. Enjoy 😉

12. Quiet Leadership

Looking at the title I remembered another book named "Quiet" by Susain Cain. In that book, she talks about the power of introvert and how that can be used for leadership.

The starting of the book is quite amazing where Susain talks about a lady well known as Rosa Parks who started the civil right movement and then carried forward by Martin Luther King Jr. The amazing part of the story is that Mrs Parks was so quiet and calm lady who stood as a leader among the masses in spite of her introverted nature. 

I recommend you all to go read that book and you will never look at leadership in the same manner.

So, today's chapter resembles with the book. Here the author talks about how leaders can come into different shapes and sizes.

He talks about his wife who stood as a leader and the amazing part is she doesn't call herself one.

Society tends to portray leaders as outgoing, driven, strong and decisive. It is certainly true in many cases. These type of leader is so visible and we think that's all leader is.

But, have we thought about leaders who don't see themselves and not do they want to. These are the quiet ones that aren't interested in the limelight and yet their sense of responsibility and respect they have with their peers and vision often lead them front.

To know more on this topic read "The Leader Who Had No Title" by Robin Sharma.

Key Lesson:- Leadership is Influence and influence is not limited to the outgoing(personality). It is about respect from those around us and respect has to be earned. That respect gets people's attention.

Conclusion:- Leadership is not about a title. Leaders can come from all walk of life, different shapes and sizes. Leadership is about influence and it comes from respect which gets people's attention.
