Summary
3. Importance of this Book
Robin Sharma explains at the beginning of the book that titles have no meanings, all what
matters to us should be doing the best work we can.
We are carrying the leadership genes within us, and it is in the interest of our colleagues to
grow and develop the same genes in order to stay ahead of the competition.
LWT can be achieved if EVERYONE within the organization shows their leadership skills.
LWT is in our total control and full responsibility as only we are responsible for our actions
and their consequences.

I’m not at all saying an organization

steering the boat and holding ultimate
responsibility for the results.
