About the Book:
Cricket occupies a significant part of India’s daily consciousness and also of other major cricketing nations. Great cricketers are seen as role models of excellence and also as guideposts for professional success. Cricket thus mirrors society and test cricket mirrors life itself. Off Stump is a management treatise on what individuals, organisations and the world at large can learn from the dynamics, variables and nuances of this fascinating sport. The book, through engaging examples and perspectives, offers a blueprint on attitude, success, leadership and strategic orientation. The author, a passionate fan and a connoisseur of test cricket, plucks out the essence of existence itself. The Off Stump itself serves as a metaphor of sorts for awareness and exhibition of that awareness. So, ‘do you know where your off stump’ is a question not just for batters, but for all of us also to answer.
