Work for a Cause, not Applause—Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—The Father of “Soft Leadership” & International Leadership Guru

“I think that teachers have the hardest job in the world, and they are the most unsung heroes so much of the time.” —Emma Walton Hamilton

Most people on the planet Earth die as unsung heroes and heroines. Only a few people are recognized for their contributions. Although most people work hard with passion and wait with patience to achieve recognition and success they fail miserably during their lifetime. And the world respects successful people, not unsuccessful people. In this regard, we will discuss the causes of unsung people and offer tools to die as sung heroes and heroines.

Causes for Lack of Recognition

“In our world of big names, curiously, our true heroes tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial than his well-knownness often proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.” —Daniel J. Boorstin

Here are some reasons for the lack of recognition for some people despite working hard. They led a simple and humble life. They remained quiet and were too shy to promote and brand themselves. They failed to hog the limelight. They failed to network and make a noise. They lacked tact and diplomacy. They acquired hard skills, not soft skills. They could not manage politics. Usain Bolt rightly remarked, "Competition is the easy part. Behind-the-scene is where all the work is done." They might be on the wrong side when opportunities are thrown at them. They were not prepared to seize opportunities. They worked for their causes, not applauses. They were givers, not takers. Above all, their preparations did not meet the opportunities.

Tips to Achieve Success in Your Lifetime

“Everyone dies. Not everyone really lives.” —William Sachs Wallace

Observe the following tools and tactics to achieve success and fame during your lifetime. Learn when to hold and when to fold. Be adaptable. Be flexible and adaptable. Take risks. Remember, not to take a risk is also a risk. Emphasize more on smart work and less on hard work. Improve your quality of connections and friends. Reinvent with changing times and technologies to remain competent and relevant. Never be scared of failures. Treat failures as lessons and move on with valuable takeaways. Never stop dreaming big because of failures. Take feedback regularly to identify what did not work to adopt new tools and techniques. Hire mentors and coaches to acquire knowledge, skills, and abilities and ensure that your career ladder is leaning on the right side of the wall.

Conclusion

"The womb from which you emerge determines your fate to an enormous degree for most of the seven billion people in the world." —Warren Buffett

Be happy that you have contributed your best. Be happy that you have made a difference. Be happy that some of your friends have earned fame and enjoyed all the facilities. Inculcate the attitude of gratitude. Remember, if everyone achieved success and fame these words would have lost relevance forever. To conclude, contribute your best irrespective of the outcome to avoid regrets on your deathbed.

"I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and saw that service is a joy." —Khalil Gibran

Write the Story of Your Life—Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—The Father of “Soft Leadership” & International Leadership Guru

“If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading or do things worth the writing.” —Benjamin Franklin

Most people don’t live their lives fully because they don’t have the vision and clarity about their goals. Successful people have a vision and realistic goals and work hard to accomplish them. They are the rarest people who have a vision and work hard on their passions to excel as international legends and leave everlasting legacies. When you want to lead your life with purpose and meaning and to be remembered beyond your lifetime, you must write your own case study to create your destiny. In this regard, we will discuss writing your own case study to leave your leadership legacy to the next generations.

Destiny is different from fate because you can create your destiny while fate is about the events that happen that are beyond your control.

How Do I Want to Be Remembered?

“The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you understand why.” —Mark Twain

I want to be remembered by the world as a beautiful lotus that rose from the dirt of toxic family background. I want to be remembered by the world that I lived my life with diversified experiences including military, business, teaching, training, research, and consultancy. I want to be remembered for making courageous decisions despite foreseeing the consequences and innumerable challenges in life. I want to be remembered by future generations as I made the impossible possible despite a lack of regular education from eminent educational institutions. I want to be remembered by the world for sharing my knowledge freely with the world despite financial constraints and challenges in my life. I want to be remembered by the world for inspiring students by improving their attitude grooming them as global leaders, and making a difference in the lives of others with my service, simplicity, humility, and integrity.

Write Your Own Case Study

“To become an academic expert takes years of studying. Academic experts are experts in how and what others have done. They use case studies and observation to understand a subject.” —Simon Sinek

The management educators teach the management graduates through case studies to enable the latter to get into their shoes and explore solutions for pressing problems. The management graduates read and write case studies to excel as successful professionals. Dave Ulrich advises, “If you are to remain the “leaders and best,” your next decade is less about what choices you have and more about the commitments you make by responding to three questions: 1. What do I want? 2. Who do I help? 3. How do I build?” He offers answers to these questions as follows: 1. Know yourself, 2. Give yourself, and 3. Leverage yourself. He revealed, “Sometimes brilliant leaders lack interpersonal savvy. They are lollipop leaders who have a great brain, but no heart. They have not recognized that learning to work with others is a foundation for both personal happiness and professional success. They need to use their strengths to strengthen others.

Create Your Own Destiny

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we’ll ever do.” —Brene Brown

We have no control over everything that happens in our lives. But we can make things happen with passion, vision, mission, and execution. So, don’t settle for less. You deserve more than you desire. Dream big. Work hard and smart to accomplish your goals. Remember that you have only one life. Therefore, live your life fully.

Don’t give your pen to others to write your case study. Hold the pen in your hands and write your own case study to inspire others. To conclude, write your own case study instead of writing others’ case studies. Create your own destiny instead of others’ creating your destiny to leave your leadership legacy.

“You are the creator of your destiny.” —Swami Vivekanand

21 Steps to Write and Publish Your Book—Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.—The Father of “Soft Leadership” & International Leadership Guru

“Writing a book is an adventure, to begin with, it is a toy and an amusement, then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him out to the public.” ―Winston Churchill

Writing a book and becoming a published author is a significant achievement that involves several key steps. First, it's essential to write a manuscript that resonates with your target audience and fits within your chosen genre. Once the manuscript is complete, thorough editing is crucial to ensure clarity and coherence. After polishing the manuscript, authors can choose between traditional publishing or self-publishing.

Most celebrities want to write a book but they are scared of writing and publishing it. Writing a book is a challenge for beginners and experienced writers. In this regard, we will discuss and draw a blueprint to write your book and publish it successfully.

I have published 53 books within a decade. It requires passion, vision, discipline, dedication, execution, and excellence to write your book and become a bestseller globally. I read thousands of books during my lifetime. I was a book reviewer for several eminent international journals, including Emerald. It has helped me author my books successfully.

Additionally, I have a flair for writing. My diversified experience including Indian Air Force, entrepreneurship, teaching, training, research, and consultancy helped me author books in diversified areas including success, students, education, entrepreneurship, learning, leadership, training, executive education, executive coaching, diversity, and gender.

How to Write a Book and Become a Published Author

Have you always dreamed of becoming a published author and seeing your book on the shelves? Writing a book can be a daunting task, but with dedication and perseverance, you can turn your dream into a reality. It’s not as easy as we imagine. Somehow, these are the steps you need to take to become a best-selling author.

Step 1: Choose Your Genre and Topic: The first step in writing a book is deciding on the genre and topic you want to write about. Consider your interests and passions, as well as what you think will resonate with readers. Research popular genres and trends in the industry to help you make an informed decision.

Step 2: Create an Outline: Before you start writing, it’s essential to outline your book. This will help you organize your thoughts and ideas, as well as create a roadmap for the writing process. Outline the main plot points, characters, and themes of your book to guide you as you start writing.

Step 3: Start Writing: Now that you have your outline, it’s time to start writing. Set a writing schedule and commit to writing a certain number of words or pages each day. Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can focus and let your creativity flow.

Step 4: Edit and Revise: Once you have completed your first draft, it’s time to edit and revise your work. Review your manuscript for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, as well as inconsistencies in plot and character development. Consider seeking feedback from beta readers or a professional editor to help you polish your book.

Step 5: Research Publishing Options: After you have finalized your manuscript, it’s time to research publishing options. You can choose to traditionally publish with a publishing house or self-publish your book. Each option has its pros and cons, so make sure to weigh them carefully before making a decision.

Step 6: Submit Your Manuscript: If you decide to pursue traditional publishing, research literary agents and publishers who accept submissions in your genre. Write a compelling query letter and submit your manuscript according to their guidelines. If you choose to self-publish, use research platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing or Ingram Spark to upload your book.

Step 7: Promote Your Book: Once your book is published, it’s essential to promote it to reach a wider audience. Utilize social media, book signings, and book reviews to generate buzz around your book. Consider reaching out to book bloggers and influencers for potential collaborations.

Becoming a published author is a rewarding journey that requires dedication, hard work, and a passion for writing. Follow these steps, stay committed to your craft, and never give up on your dream of seeing your book in print. Good luck on your writing journey!

Ensure Longer Lifespan for Your Book

Before writing a book, keep your audience in mind. Find out the longevity of the book. If you can write a book that has longevity, your prospects of becoming a bestselling author are promising. For instance, I authored a book on COVID-19 titled COVID-19: Human’s Search for Humanity. https://www.amazon.in/COVID-19-Humanity-M-S-Rao/dp/9387799492

Before writing this book, I was pretty sure that it would not last for a long time. So, I wrote the book and published it immediately, and the publisher also sold it in good quantity.

I wrote many books that have a long lifespan to enable the books to sell for a longer time and establish myself as an author. I deliberately wrote self-help books that have the longest lifespan to enable readers to read them beyond my lifetime.

For instance, Dale Carnegie’s book How to Win Friends and Influence People is a bestseller and is timeless. So is the case with The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

So, before you write your book, ensure that the book has longevity. The longer the lifespan, the better the sales and the higher the visibility of the book.

A Blueprint to Write and Publish Your Book

Here are some tips to write and publish your book.

Find out whether you are passionate about writing a book or it.
If you are passionate, be clear about the area you want to write about.
Research on that area to identify the gaps.
Check whether you can fill those gaps and pull them off successfully.
For instance, some writers start a book and leave it halfway as they find it challenging to proceed forward due to a lack of adequate interest and the availability of material for research. It happens to most writers. When I became an author in 2010, I started to write a book on charismatic leadership. But I could not complete it as I did not get adequate material for research.

Additionally, the topic did not create adequate curiosity in me. So, I stopped writing the book and included the written content in another relevant book titled Spot Your Leadership Style. https://www.amazon.com/Spot-Your-Leadership-Style-Build/dp/8182203724

After you decide to write your book, create an outline/skeleton with chapter titles and triggers. Take up each chapter, research, and write the chapter. Don’t attempt to write too many chapters at a time. Take one chapter, write it completely, and move on to the next chapter.

During the process of writing, more ideas flash through your mind to include new chapters in the book. Maintain a separate document for writing your ideas to take forward and include. Completely write all chapters.

Finally integrate all chapters chronologically to complete your book. Remember to be an author first and an editor next. Creating ideas and writing a chapter is more important than editing because editing can be done later. Edit all chapters and reshuffle your chapters to ensure that they are in the right sequence.

Edit and improve your book multiple times to get the best-finished product. Check the authenticity of the data you outlined. Create sample chapters from the book and approach eminent people in the area to write endorsements and a foreword.

After taking a break for a few days, edit and improve your book again. In this way, you improve the quality of your book. Remember, writing a book is easier said than done. It is a painful process with lots of distractions and disturbances. You must focus clearly on your goal of writing.

Identify an Ideal Publisher

Write a book proposal and approach the publishers who can publish your book. Don’t worry if your book proposal is rejected. Every author has several rejections, including J.K. Rowling. Remember that you are not an exception. Be an optimist and send your book proposal to several book publishers until you find the best and ideal publisher.

Edit the entire manuscript finally and submit the soft copy to the publisher. You may be asked to modify the manuscript. Follow their guidelines and suggestions strictly. You will be excited when your book sees the light of the day. You forget the entire painful process when you see your book in print. It is like a mother seeing her child for the first time with a smile.

Publish your book through various formats such as traditional publishing, partly traditional publishing, through an agent, or self-publishing. I have published all my books through the traditional method of publishing where I signed a contract with the publisher and published my books.

21 Steps to Write and Publish Your Book

Here is a series of steps to write and publish your book:

Be passionate about writing your book.
Write the book in your area of interest only.
Identify the gaps.
Check whether you can pull it off successfully.
Fill the gaps through research.
Create an outline/skeleton with tentative book chapters
Create triggers for each chapter.
Write each chapter by doing research.
Complete all chapters.
Be flexible and include fresh chapters and content.
Edit all chapters.
Complete the manuscript.
Create sample chapters.
Approach for endorsements and a foreword.
Create a book proposal.
Send the book proposal to the publishers.
Sign the agreement with the publisher.
Share the soft copy of your manuscript with the publisher.
Update and edit your book as per the instructions of your publisher.
See your book in print.
Promote your book on social networks and market it effectively to increase visibility for your book to become a bestseller.

Don’t expect great returns from your book unless you have a strong brand and network to promote your book. The advantage of writing a book is that you build your credibility globally. If your book becomes a bestseller, you increase your visibility globally. Remember, making money from your book is a byproduct. If you want to tell your story to the readers and future generations you must write at least one book in your lifetime.

Final Thought

Writing books is a divine gift. However, you can acquire this gift with passion, practice, persistence, and patience. To summarize, be passionate, create a tentative blueprint of chapters, write each chapter, be flexible to modify your chapters and content, edit your book several times, approach the right publisher, publish your book, and market it aggressively.
