Why do some professionals break through to CXO roles while others remain stuck in middle management? Timeless Skills takes this universal career puzzle and transforms it into an insightful, action-oriented journey of self-discovery and professional growth. Unlike many leadership books that preach lofty theories or retell success fairy tales, Nishant Saxena’s work is refreshingly honest, deeply reflective, and highly practical. Drawing on two decades of corporate leadership and mentoring over a hundred careers, the author identifies two major roadblocks to leadership ascent—missing skills and bad habits. Many professionals struggle to evolve beyond the very traits that once made them successful, hitting a “glass ceiling” they can’t seem to break. The book stands out for its Indian context, making it relatable to professionals navigating local workplace realities like power distance, hierarchical team dynamics, and culturally nuanced leadership expectations. This local flavour fills the gap that most Western leadership books leave wide open. Whether you’re a high-performing professional seeking the next leap or someone feeling stuck despite your effort, Timeless Skills offers clarity, actionable direction, and enduring lessons in “awake leadership.” It gives you the mirror and the map. @penguinindia #timelessskills #nonfictionbooks #booksbooksbooks #professionalgrowth
