A book in progress
Who's Driving?
The question beneath the decision.
A book for people who know how to lead, and have started to question what takes over when the pressure is on.
Rooted in the KathopanishadWritten for modern working lives
The central tension
What if the hardest decisions are shaped before we notice?
We bring history, habit, appetite, fear, and good intention into every serious decision. Usually, they arrive together. The book stays with the moment when a leader begins to see what is already in the room.
What the book stays with
Questions that are easy to postpone, and hard to outgrow.
An old image from the Kathopanishad sits quietly beneath the book. A journey. A driver. A set of reins. The point is not to turn it into a leadership formula. The point is to look more closely at the life we are already living.
When does a strength become a reflex?
The thing that made you successful can still narrow the room around you.
What happens when judgment returns?
Perhaps the next decision does not need more speed. Perhaps it needs more of you.
From the author
A book that does not rush to settle the question.
Who's Driving? is not about stepping away from ambition or responsibility. It is about looking at what enters the room with them, and making more room for an honest choice.
The publishing journey is underway.
The book will be shared in its own time. Until then, the ideas around it are taking shape through Sanjiv's writing on LinkedIn.
