Perhaps it is due to my own philosophy and approach to leadership, which is similar in many ways to the 8 rituals outlines in the book, but I simply found nothing particularly redeeming for me in this book. I think that leaders or managers who find themselves at a loss at how to motivate their team might gain some wisdom from the book.
And those who find self help books a way to inspire their change might also find it helpful. I simply felt I was being told things I already adhere to, and in a way that irritated me rather than inspired. I have a feeling this is a book that many people love or will but while it wasn't something that I hated, it just wasn't for me.
Don't get me wrong. Sharma has an enjoyable writing style and his narrative could be fun, but I found parts so far from realistic and others less than inspiring for me, that it is clear that I am not his target audience. I rank this book as 'ok'. Oct 07, Ashok Vaishnav added it. The author has distilled the essence of Leadership Wisdom entwined in a fable in the preceding book. Here the format is retained that of a fable-telling narrative, but the content is thick with truisms, and necessaary explanations,of Leadership Wisdom.

The Ritual of Human Relations 3. The Ritual of Team Unity 4. The Ritual of Adaptability and Change Management 5. The Ritual of Personal Effectiveness 6. The Ritual of Self-Leadership 7. The Ritual of Creativity and Innovation 8. The Ritual of Contribution and Significance The style makes the book quite readable.

The characters are little more than mouthpieces for the author's ideas; as fictional characters they are unsatisfying.

If you can get past that, however, on the level of a non-fiction, motivational book about good leadership, the book is actually pretty good, and offers some sound advice pretty succinctly.
I found that a lot of it concurred with what I intuitively believed about good leadership, and made me think a lot about what works and what doesn't work in managing and motivating people. So if you are looking for that kind of book and can look past the somewhat clunky fictional construct, give this book a go.

I would say, Leadership Wisdom! A pleasant experience reading this one. Robin Sharma explains a few outdated or already known theories with respect to Leadership.

A bit philosophical, but that should be fine because small dosage is very effective and not harmful. I see the Moral Science question paper being readied for me.

One of the major reasons for devouring Robin Sharma's books is that his works are the manifestations of the innermost self that manage to bind the reader's interest. The reader synchronises the character with himself and craves to imbibe his phenomenology. After finishing this book the only thing i want is to meet the great Robin Sharma.
The ideas are similar to what i have read previously in books. But this time it is introduced nicely and in an interesting form. I wished if i were a Businesswoman to apply them to my organization to see effective they are. But the spectacular thing about the book that it doesn't discuss management from the organizational point of view but also from the personal prospective.

Absolutely loved the book. The message throughout the book is simple and to the point. The way it's presented seems so natural.
You can relate to the story and introspect whether you're going down the same road. If you are, well then better think about it again. I particularly love Robin's way of presenting i.
