Patna: Renowned corporate leader and management expert Ravi Kant’s book, Leading from the Back, was officially launched in Patna on Friday in a grand event attended by stalwarts from the corporate and business sectors. The launch ceremony, held at Hotel Taj City Centre, saw the presence of Education Minister and former IPS officer Sunil Kumar as the chief guest, along with a host of distinguished guests.
During the event, Education Minister Sunil Kumar hailed the book as a game-changer in leadership philosophy. “Leading from the Back will give leadership a new dimension. Its outcomes are exceptional and sustainable over the long term. Moving away from traditional official work methods, this book introduces a fresh perspective that aligns with the demands of the current times,” he said.
The book, published in both Hindi and English versions, was launched collectively by the author Ravi Kant, Education Minister Sunil Kumar, Bihar Industries Association (BIA) President K.P.S. Kesri, Bihar Chamber of Commerce President Subhash Patwari, Bihar Women Entrepreneurs Association President Usha Jha, former BIA President Ramlal Khetan, Amar Agrawal, Dr. Rajvardhan Azad, CEO of Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital Mrityunjay Tiwari, and Medical Director Dr. Ajit Poddar.
Author and corporate leader Ravi Kant highlighted the importance of the book’s leadership philosophy in today’s world. “In this era, ‘leading from the back’ is crucial. The youth must be given opportunities, and leaders should focus on promoting teamwork rather than following an egoistic leadership style,” he said during an interactive discussion on the book, moderated by senior journalist Rakesh Praveer.
He emphasized the importance of creating institutional frameworks for training young managers, particularly under the public-private partnership (PPP) model. Ravi Kant also cited examples from India’s space missions and organizations like Titan Company, where the principles of “leading from the back” have been effectively implemented. “When a team works together, even seemingly impossible tasks become achievable. To grow a company, it is essential to carry the entire team forward,” he added.
Highlighting the qualities of a good team leader, Ravi Kant said, “A great leader must be approachable and willing to listen to their team members. Teamwork can make the impossible possible.”
BIA President K.P.S. Kesri stressed the significance of ownership in the workplace over the traditional employee mindset. “The book comes at a pivotal time when the corporate world is shifting its focus. Ravi Kant’s insights will serve as a milestone in this evolving landscape,” he remarked.
Bihar Chamber of Commerce President Subhash Patwari delivered the welcome address, applauding the book’s potential to influence the next generation of leaders.
The event was graced by notable figures, including former Bihar State Electricity Board Chairman Swapan Mukherjee, Bihar Chamber of Commerce General Secretary Pashupati Pandey, Vice President Ashish Shankar, Treasurer Subodh Kumar Jain, BIA General Secretary Amarnath Jaiswal, Sunil Saraf, N.K. Thakur, Rakesh Kashyap, and prominent doctors such as Dr. Manoj, Dr. Naveen, Dr. Beauty, and Mukta Sharma, among others.
The launch of Leading from the Back marks a significant moment in redefining leadership for the modern era. With its innovative approach and emphasis on teamwork, the book is poised to inspire leaders across industries to embrace a more inclusive and collaborative style of leadership.
