'BIG BOSS'

...a story of every professional in search of an eternal 'BOSS'... (a 205-page odyssey)
"Morning happens, evening goes, and the night sets in---Saga flares the hope of another day’s rings"
‘BIG BOSS’ is a scoop about a fervent professional who joins many firms in anticipation of getting a conducive work environment and an ideal ‘Boss’ in each. Each time as he finds his dreams not being realized, he leaves that firm and joins another to experience similar events in the new firm as well. The protagonist, Adi, is a dreamer and a perfect idealist who always works in the firm’s interest, but very often is let down by his bosses in one way or the other. He always tries to explain to his bosses about his virtuous intentions towards the firm and them, but each time they ditch him. At last, he learns through these experiences that he can’t change the creature called ‘Boss’, but has to usher a change by being the part of the firm within his own circle of influence. Foreword & Analytical views for the book have been provided by Mr. Joginder Singh, Ex-CBI Director, Member (Hony.) EC, Interpol, France as he says: “…If I had to describe the essence of this book in one word - it would be ‘Co-existence’…” “…Discussion about bosses is at the core of everyone’s heart. In a day, we spend most of the productive time at our workplace, and that too communicating with our colleagues. Bosses form a significant part of the fraternity and have the largest impact on our professional and personal well-being…” “…When I read ‘BIG BOSS’, I felt the same and was able to relate with my professional journey. It’s an event-packed corporate drama. MVP has done justice to the subject by detailing the insights into the attitudinal and behavioral characteristics of the corporate bosses. It shells out the pearls of wisdom in between the narrated instances…” “…The book has a potential of contributing towards case studies for the Business schools and HR function of the firms…” The book AIMS to make the professionals realize the need to co-exist alongwith the other members of the professional ecosystem.

Reader's View

“...there is perhaps no such thing as a perfect job, least of all, the perfect boss. The hunt can be long and elusive. Many pursue it to ridiculous levels, thinking they would get it right just this one more time…and so continue their elusive search. The more courageous among us leave everything and try their hand at their own stuff. MVP’s book aptly sums up the dilemma of our times. The rat race doesn’t seems to lead the protagonist anywhere. The question is to accept or fight. The key is perhaps to decide for yourself—what’s best for you…” - Shekhar Nambiar, Public Affairs and Media, Australian High Commission
