‘I have worked with and advised many senior corporate managers who regularly added new capabilities that spurred them to new heights of performance. Their ability to innovate has strong parallels to corporate innovation, a topic on which I have extensively researched and written. Bala's book on skill-building, anchored on several inspiring anecdotes, is a highly valuable operating code for anyone who wants to prepare for a better tomorrow, in careers, relationships and lives in general.’

‘The best leaders never cease to learn. This book encourages the reader to continuously evolve one’s skill sets and offers practical ways of doing so interspersed with motivating anecdotes from how great leaders have done this. Even more important now, given that most people today will go through multiple career choices in their lives.’

‘I have always believed that the art of choosing well is the hallmark of good leaders in all walks of life. Choosing to reskill and revitalize ourselves is our prerogative. But how do we do it? This book on skill-building is a good one that can empower people towards making those choices.’
PROF SHEENA S. IYENGAR S.T.Lee Professor of Business Management, Columbia Business School and Author
