Hello Sir,
I listened to your interview on “Dose of Leadership” by Richard Rierson, and I loved the idea of the soft leadership. I loved the way you described the Indian leadership influenced by the culture while American Leadership is a type of hard/tough leadership. It was an interesting interview to listen to.
I tried to leave a comment on your blog but was not successful, so I came here. I have put some details in my simple blog post where I just put the names of the people being interviewed on “Dose of Leadership.
