The Roaring Lambs: A Fable About Finding the Leader in You by Sreedhar Bevara

Welcome to the jungle. Here, the survival of the fittest is the ultimate truth. The weaker animal gets eaten in what is considered a natural food chain. But some have been tampering with the organic arrangement for selfish gains and resorting to mass murder.

Published by Harper Collins, India Sreedhar Bevara's second book is an exceptional tale of leadership that throws Light on how true leaders rise from nowhere and produce extraordinary results when challenged by circumstances. It has received praise from The Times of India, Outlook India, Mark Victor Hansen (co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series), Dr. Kiran Bedi, and Deepak Chopra.

In the Mau Forest in East Africa, the mighty lion king Kaizaar's autocratic ways wreak havoc on his subjects. Known to be the longest-serving ruler of the pride, he is ministered by the shrewd Shaka - the former leader of the lambs who betrayed his flock for the stronger lions. With their defences exposed, the lambs are backed into a corner.

How do the lambs stop the carnage and find refuge? Will they be able to reverse the fate of their species and restore the Law of the Jungle? Can a bunch of fearful lambs rise to defend and learn to roar?

What emerges is an illuminating leadership fable. The politics of the jungle and the strategies that aid survival are lessons of lasting value that will not only inspire but also help find the leader within you.
