Leadership by Turban by Ravi Singh Back in 2006 I posted the Ebook and some info about a cool book on leadership by Ravi Singh. When Ravi Singh visited New Mexico recently he gave me a copy of the Audio book CD. It’s very well done and interesting with him telling cool personal stories of leadership and dealing with society and wearing a turban. Definitely a good listen. I’ve been listening to parts of it here and there in my car as I drive to and from the office.
