Extraordinary people aren''t just born fully formed. They don''t just emerge out of slogans and rhetoric. They work towards making a positive, palpable change. These people are what they are because they wanted to be what they are.This book isn''t about changing the way you dress or learning to master punctuality – it''s about serious life altering traits which dig deep into your DNA to turn you around as a person. These traits – which Gandhi, Lincoln, Helen Keller, Tendulkar, Tata or Eisenhower had – are viewed as god''s gift. Just because we''re not born with them, it doesn''t mean we can''t learn to become that way. If you want to become an effective person, regardless of where you stand in life''s continuum – a college student, a working professional, an entrepreneur or a CEO- this book is for you. It will be you mentor; explaining, demonstrating and guiding you through each of this trait which make great people. If you want to work on yourself – go for it.

Though the definition itself is somewhat derogatory, that author has dispelled this notion through this book. As a believer in the law of averages, and quoting from his own experience of around forty years, the author says that there would be more good guys in organizational corridors of power than bad ones. Yet there is big room for improvement for the good guys too. A leader has a much larger role to play which affects performance and progress of the entire organization. At the core of leadership lies vision, mission, direction, wisdom, sacrifice and also a moralistic stance. In contrast, the role of a boss is more ''hands on'' and largely revolves around and is focused towards ''people management'' and interpersonal relations with the employees of the organization. The boss subordinate relationship becomes very personal and that is why one would say ''He is my boss, and you will seldom get to hear anything like, ''he is my leader.'' It is the softer part of leadership which is the hardest to manage! Putting it in another way, a boss is in your immediate vicinity with whom you deal on a daily basis, whereas a leader may be visible only from a distance. During the Gilded Age, in the 19th century in the United States, bossism was a system of political control centering around a single powerful figure-the boss. The central figure had tremendous clout and influence in terms of political control. In that context also, boss was to do more with “control” and perhaps nothing to do with leadership. In the modern environment, bossism is about ''atmospherics'', which has a direct impact on a subordinate''s performance as well his personal life and happiness too. Therefore, bossism is skewed more towards emotional intelligence rather than the IQ of a boss.
