BOSTON — In every facet of life—business, family, community, or personal growth—leadership remains a foundational force that defines the course of our journey. At its best, leadership is not about titles or control; it is about character, vision, and above all, humility.
This truth is deeply explored in Upendra Mishra’s newly published book, After the Fall: How Owen Lost Everything and Found What Truly Matters, a story that intertwines personal crisis with timeless lessons on what truly defines a leader.
In Chapter 28, titled Humbleness and Leadership, Mishra offers one of the book’s most poignant reflections, summarizing its insights through a recurring feature in each chapter called the “Inner Compass.” These concise teachings serve as guideposts for self-awareness and transformation. The “Inner Compass” from this chapter, in particular, sheds light on the spiritual and practical dimensions of leadership.
