Being a true leader is not just something you are born into—it is a choice you can make no matter where you are or who you are with.

The best leaders aren’t always the ones in positions of power. They can be the newest employee in the company trying to improve an outdated process. They can be a parent calming a raging child, or a café manager briefing their staff before a shift.

Think back on the best leaders in your life, and you will find that they all share some of the same qualities: some inspire, some know how to connect others to their message, and others can set clear and precise boundaries—even without any official authority.

In People Who Lead, leadership expert Dr. David Abudram reveals the three cornerstones of leadership that anyone can apply to build influence, command respect, and foster true collaboration:

• The Power of Listening – How to communicate effectively, understand your team, and eliminate barriers to trust.
• Authority Without Intimidation – Why strong leaders don’t try to control but set clear and fair boundaries.
• Creating Meaning in Work – How to inspire teams, unite people behind a common purpose, and lead with long-term impact.

Drawing on years of experience in leadership training—from military command to business management, Dr. Abudram offers a practical, no-nonsense guide to becoming the kind of leader people simply want to follow. Whether you’re managing a team, leading a project, or just looking to grow your influence, People Who Lead gives you the tools to step up, take charge, and lead with confidence—no title required.
