Advance Praise

"I have always regarded Mother Teresa as one of my role models because she understood and demonstrated through her own being that real leadership comes from the soul. Ruma Bose's exploration of Mother Teresa's deep well of compassion, dignity, empathy and love is a profound meditation on what it means to be a real leader."
--Deepak Chopra, author of The Soul of Leadership

"Ruma Bose's perspective on the iconic Mother Theresa's unique leadership skills is nothing short of a revelation. Having started my career in the social services world, some of the best business managers I have come across hail from that world with Mother Theresa certainly a leading example. I found myself nodding and "Uh huh-ing" as I recognized the simple but powerful lessons that Mother Theresa's eight principles can teach us all. Simply extraordinary."

Apply the principles and you and your organization will be on your way to becoming extraordinary."
