Ankit Agrawal: tech veteran, professional process-fixer, and connoisseur of telling people how to do their jobs. He calls it 'leadership.' We call it 'effective communication.' Either way, he's been doing it for twenty years, and hasn't (yet) been fired. Okay, only once.
Ankit spends his days dispensing wisdom to unsuspecting corporations and students. He's so good at leadership, he even runs a consulting company called 'Extreme Ownership Consulting', because 'I'm always right' was too long for a business card.
After his first book, Ankit decided to tackle the bigger question: 'Why accept things as they are when you can complain about them?' Hence, this book will teach you how to lead your life, your emotions, and your relationships... or at least, how to fake it till you make it.
Still here? If you're still unable to decide, this book will help you understand why your parents are still comparing you to your neighbor's child.

Book

In this page-turner, enter Saket, a young developer who lands his dream job only to realize that no matter how prestigious the company is, challenging work cultures seem to be an unfortunate commonality across the corporate landscape. As Saket grapples with the harsh realities of the tech world, he discovers that problems are like stubborn bugs, they're everywhere, but they can be squashed with the right mindset and a touch of sarcasm.
