A wonderfully enjoyable read, Discover Your Inner Leader gives a thoughtful and approachable framework to learning the skills to be a successful leader. For those who’ve experienced leadership, there will be many “ah-ha” and “I didn’t realize others felt this way too” moments. In a constantly evolving business landscape, there is no greater priority than forming strong relationships and trust with individuals and the team dynamic. The author recognizes the self-doubts and challenges that may arise and provides the tools to adapt and overcome, and in turn, grow resilient teams who are passionate about strategy and their contributions. This book will enable leaders to achieve personal growth and the growth of individuals and teams within their organization.

Leaders must draw upon a wealth of experiences and knowledge to adapt to the situations. See this book as another means to acquire that information. Allow it to be another source of mentorship as you discover and refine your leadership style. Every successful leader must go on a path of self-discovery to be effective in their service to others. This is the kind of book that helps them navigate that journey.

This is an extremely valuable book for managers and leaders in any organization. Mamta did an amazing job at describing the most common mistakes new managers make and how to avoid them. The cited examples along with ideas from industry leaders in this book provide a lot of useful and practical advice to first time managers and seasoned managers.

I wish I had a chance to read Mamta Goyal’s book when I first took the plunge into directly managing other people. And a plunge it was - I’ve spent years running away from having direct reports. I had great explanations for why I wanted to remain an individual contributor. I mostly believed them myself. Mostly. The truth is that I was afraid. When it did happen to me, I was reactive. I knew what kind of leader I didn’t want to be, but in the absence of guidance, I floundered for years at the expense of my career, but also at the expense of people now relying on me. In hindsight, it’s crystal clear to me that I could have done better, I could have learned quicker with the right guidance. I’ve been lucky enough to work with Mamta in the last company I founded, and I got to witness (and benefit from) her management skills in action. Over many years, I saw her management style help her teams not only perform, but grow and thrive. I know that she speaks from experience and I wish she had written this book earlier. It would have saved me and those around me a good number of scrapes and bruises. Whether you’re a brand new people leader or a veteran looking to better themselves, I highly recommend you read (and then re-read) this book.

This book is a reflection of Mamta's leadership style. She is by far the best manager I ever had. The strategies described in the book work. I am living proof of standing out in the crowd with her guidance. Our team worked hard, had fun, and made a huge impact on the organization. I experienced autonomy, freedom, the most amazing personal growth (with honest conversations) and a career transition opportunity I did not realize I wanted. A must read for managers!

Stuff I wish I knew when I made the switch from Individual Contributor to manager. Recommended for all the new leaders!

While numerous books offer advice on securing a promotion, only a select few provide guidance on becoming an effective manager. This book excels in presenting both the manager's and team members' viewpoints, utilizing this insight to establish a robust framework for both aspiring and newly appointed managers to lead teams successfully.
