“To give you an ounce of idea I dig tons
of information.” – Professor M.S.Rao, Founder, MSR Leadership Consultants,

I have coined a new concept – soft
leadership which is drawing international attention with more curiosity about
it, and the readers are sending me e-mails to contribute more articles on it. I
thought to blog a small post about it.
In fact, we have so many styles in
leadership, and I felt that there is a need for a new leadership style as per
the changing times and technologies, and due to the rising expectations and
aspirations of people. Hence, I have
done research for few years on soft leadership style, and authored a book titled,
‘Soft Leadership: Make Others Feel More Important’ (ISBN 978-81-7515-653-1). World’s 23rd ranked Management
Guru, Dave Ulrich wrote foreword for this book. The book can be purchased URL: http://www.amazon.com/Soft-Leadership-Make-others-important/dp/8175156538 I also wrote an article on it, and published
in prestigious Leader to Leader Journal
in Spring 2012 issue, and you can purchase it URL: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ltl.20019/abstract
This soft leadership style blends
leadership with soft skills as I have done my PhD in soft skills. Both soft
skills and leadership are close to my heart, and I created soft leadership
where leaders lead from the front with soft skills. This style has proximity
with democratic, charismatic, principle-centered, servant, transformational
leadership but a unique one as soft leaders of this style are distinguished by
11 Cs – character, charisma, conscience, conviction, courage, communication,
compassion, commitment, consistency, consideration, and contribution to make a
difference in the lives of others.
You will find more articles on soft
leadership in my blog as and when I get new triggers on it. Hence, watch my
blog for this new leadership style.

society and make a difference in the lives of people.” - Professor M.S.Rao
