Book Review: The Leader Who Had No Title - Robin Sharma

Hey, Readers!

I am here again to share a book review. I'm glad to have finished it. The LWT by Robin Sharma which stands for the Leader Without Title gives you the idea that whatever stature you have in life     one can emerge from Leadership. It argues that Leadership is not exclusively for CEO's or those high managerial positions but for everyone's plate.

The frame of the story revolved around Blake who is a previous US army and was working at the book store unsatisfactory. There he met his unrealized mentor Tommy, 77 and has been working for the same position ever since but received the same treatment as those of the CEO. As Tommy enter the scene, he came to rescue Blake from misery of self deprivation. Given that he see no value at what he do. Tommy then took the life changing assistance for Blake bringing him the 4 teachers who will help him understand the 4 cores of LWT.

'And regardless of whether your have a formal title or not you have total control of       how you show up in your current role. The highest of all human abilities is the ability each one of us has to respond to the environment we find ourselves within.'

Overall, I would like to recommend this for beginners of all sort. Its advisable for those long tenured employees or those small post at any organization. Whether youre a housekeeper, a massuer, a simple book clerk etc. You could benefit from reading this. It has a bunch of acronyms and there was a redundant phrase of word that should have been re-phrase.

If you have read several leadership book like those of Ziglar, Maxwell, Robins and Gladwell. You'll realize to recall all that you have learned takes you to the different books you have seen. I got bored a little bit for this same reason. I have heard it in other business book and felt that I already know certian core values Robin have shared. The way it was written has some setbacks as the necessary learning could instantly argue as fictional but as the author stated even the events and character are on this category the situation is all based on real circumstances. So far, I'll give this a 3 star.

Survey from Candidate No. 3

I had a recent interview, all of the candidates are Pinay which I find amazing (they love pinoy talaga). Syempre being the natural Ms. Congeniality, I'm always the who start the conversation. I make brief convo to those who are still waiting for their spotlight to be grilled. 

It goes like this:

Me: Kanina ka pa?

Me: San ka dito nag-iistay? (UAE)

Me: San ka ba sa Pinas?

Then, the ice glacier break a little bit and the conversation are starting to evolve. 

After the interview, its natural for them to ask how it goes and share what they have experienced. The agony goes on and I always pacify their feelings at the end of it.

Afterwards, we get into the same ride as we go home. The easiest trasportation of course is the metro station. And your rivalry from the interview became your instant friends that only last as you parted away off the metro. 

I always make a setup of other people's situation on myself wherein I utilized it to survey the mindset of people and their views. I then ask if they'll engage into a relationship wherein the partner was already entangled back to its home country. The replies goes to this, which I'm glad to hear:

Candidate No. 3: Hay ano kaba sinasayang mo lang ang buhay mo dyan..

Candidate No. 3: Nangyari na sakin yan, 6 years din yun ngayon ito ako, nagsisisi..

Candidate No. 3: Hanap ka nalang ng iba, bata ka pa naman. 

Candidate No. 3: Hindi ka ba nakokosensya sa pamilya ninya, although kasalanan din nung lalaki

Candidate No. 3: Kung kapatid kita, tutuktukan kita talaga

Candidate No. 3: Alam ko talaga na ang lugar na to, wala ka kakilala at di maiiwasan na magkagusto ka. Kaya lang wag sa ganun. Sayang ka

Candidate No. 3: Ay, anung number mo hanap nalang kita ng okay. Dali..

This girl wouldn't stop even I told her that I get her point. She's way too concerned and goes to more example of herself. 

The above response gives you Candidate no. 3's personal experience and greatly put significance that she's against extra marital affairs. 

I have done this experiment because I get to see people on this type of arrangement. I don't judge them on the path that they have chosen but all I want to share is a little bit of enlightenment.
