Leadership by Proxy

Leadership by Proxy" by Poonam Barua is a pioneering book that lays an archival milestone for creating a "brave new mindset" in corporate India and businesses worldwide -- that will genuinely embrace "balanced leadership" as a true goal of corporate enterprise, validate and verify equal opportunity with meritocracy, respect inclusive growth for women who form 50% of the world population, and best practices in the workplace that will reject homogenous all-male corporate leadership as a fundamental economic function - to bring optimum rewards of diversity to business growth and societal progress.

The book is a steady and seminal personal narrative - with compelling corporate anecdotes and case studies - that provide a multi-faceted kaleidascope of how the women of corporate India have been progressively finding their voices in an unequal corporate world, collectively redefining gender-sensitive leadership, and aspiring for board positions - in hallways that have kept the women out of decision-making for over 100 years.

The book is recommended reading for all business leaders, professionals, academics, acitivists, ngo's, women and men- who are looking for insights, perspectives, and roadmaps to build a vibrant common future - where differences are respected, and conservative leadership paradigms are re-defined by real-time changing, dynamic and vibrant stakeholders.
