Lead Less Build More (Edition2nd)

The same instincts that earn you the promotion are the ones that eventually hold you back. You become the person everyone depends on - the call no one will make without you, the reason nothing moves when you step away. It feels like indispensability. It's a trap. Lead Less, Build More offers a different path. Drawing on four decades of leadership and transformation, Suresh MK shows that most leadership problems are not people problems but design problems - and how to become the kind of leader whose teams think, decide, and move without them. Stop holding everything together. Start building something that outlasts you.

Suresh MK has spent over four decades inside the machinery of leadership - building and transforming finance and operations functions, and learning the hard way why strong leaders become the bottleneck they fear. A chartered and management accountant and an ICF-certified executive coach (PCC), he advises leaders - from first-time managers to the C-suite - on the shift from heroic effort to systems that scale. His thinking draws as readily on the ancient Indian logic of the Nyaya school as on modern organizational design - a blend that runs through his writing, coaching, and speaking. He lives in Bangalore and is at work on his next book.
