I am sure you must have heard that people don’t leave their jobs, they leave their bosses. And that is the reason being a good leader matters, which mind you, is not an easy task.

For those who are wondering what is that title – I should begin by sharing that KSBKBT was a famous Indian telly show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (Because the MIL was also once a DIL). No, I am not going to talk about the show today but I do intend to write about the much … More K for KSBKBT
