Chase Greatness

Chase Greatness is about following the principles of an Enlightened Leader. This means encouraging employees to be their best while acting ethically and taking into account the world around you. I love this concept of holistic leadership. It gives wonderful food for thought about how we lead. I really enjoyed the audiobook narration, this will be perfect for the leader on the go!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC. All thoughts are my own.

“When everything changes, leadership must too.” Kapur discusses the changing environment of business and how expectations of workers were modified due to COVID-19 and societal upheavals. Chasing greatness in this new environment is still possible, but there are some new ways that leaders and managers must think and approach workers on their way to success. Emphasis is placed on the diversity of staff as a strength. More diverse companies tend to make more money and since money is king in the business world, so too is diversity. With a rising workforce of Millennials and Gen-Z employees, a proactive culture will keep them engaged with your company. This title keeps readers engaged with “enlightened leader thought exercises” at the end of each chapter and “enlightened leadership in action” examples of people that exemplified a lot of the traits that Kapur sees as useful for leaders. A new year brings new opportunities and this read will guide you through the different landscape we see ourselves in for 2023..

This business book is surprisingly well-written while being packed with statistics, examples, stories, and questions to ask yourself and/or your team. I especially appreciate how the author explains that generational behavior of disengaging from the workplace, not because of the reasons we get fed by the media but because of IMO extremely valid reasons like values matter and companies put profits over their people and the world they live in. The narration was well-done.
