Praise for the Book
“The book ‘Leadership in Disruptive Times: Negotiating the New Balance’ by Prof. Sattar Bawany is essential reading for all business leaders in today’s world. In his latest work, Prof. Bawany uses real-life case studies to illustrate the challenges companies face in the modern world and explains why some have managed to adapt effectively and even thrive, while others have quickly fallen by the wayside. Each company will face unique challenges; however, Prof. Bawany explains that the underlying themes are remarkably similar, and lessons can be drawn from across different geographies and even unrelated industries. The pace of change is unlikely to slow and increasing complexity has become the norm for most organisations. This is the backdrop we must contend with, and this novel is a valuable resource for business leaders as they lead their organisations through disruptions and uncertainty.
Prof. Sattar Bawany has been an Executive Coach and mentor to me, and he’s someone I have come to respect and trust. He is a true leader in his field, and I marvel at his ability to draw on so many years of experience and apply those lessons in a completely new era. Somehow, Prof. Bawany is always able to separate the noise from the real underlying problem, and get leaders to think about themselves, their teams and their organisation in a very different way.”

“Business leaders have been breaking down traditional barriers, working across functional silos to drive innovation, and using data and AI to sense and respond to changes in the external environment. Essentially, we saw traditional players acting much more like digital natives. How can we learn from these experiences to create a digital and innovation-driven culture, especially when our world has become even more digital in the era of the post-pandemic ‘new normal’? The answer is found in the latest edition of the book by Prof. Sattar Bawany, which provides CEOs and business leaders with proven tools, frameworks, practices, and strategies on how best-in-class organizations have been successful in improving their sustainability without negatively impacting their profitability. I would recommend this book to all leaders from both private and public sector organizations.”
