- What every leader needs
Here I cover my approach to teaching leadership skills - What every leader needs. All of us need these skills, because we all are leaders in some sense or the other. Some lead teams in their organisations while others lead their families.
I clarify here why I prefer the foundation of my teaching to come from psychology and sociology, rather than Case studies and biographies of successful leaders. I also show how I cover the needs of leaders at all stages - from the first time leader to the CXO.

About Leadership in Matters that matter
From the publisher's feed
I am Colonel Alok Asthana — a soldier by training, a writer by instinct, and a reformer by conviction.
After over three decades in uniform, I realized that courage on the battlefield must be matched by courage in thought.
That realization has shaped my mission ever since.
I write — and speak — about the unseen structures that define leadership, accountability, and decision-making in the Indian military. My books are on my book site (https://alok-books.lovable.app) and my writings on Substack (indiansalute.substack.com)
