Rana Kapoor, managing director and chief executive of Yes Bank Ltd, lists A Whole New Mind: Why Right-brainers Will Rule the Future by Daniel Pink, as the one book on leadership that has truly inspired him.

The managing director and chief executive of Yes Bank says he was enlightened by Pink’s depiction of the six senses in the book:

“Design", defined as utility driven by significance; “Story", which relates to emotion and substance; “Symphony", which highlights thinking the unthinkable; “Empathy", signifying compassion; “Play", which denotes a childlike enthusiasm and inquisitiveness; and “Meaning", which focuses on the search for spirituality and depth in life.

“Evangelizing a dream, being able to crystallize an idea and convert it into action is the order of the new era," Kapoor says.

He says unthinkable success can emerge like a phoenix even late in the game.

“That is life through the eyes of a dreamer, a designer with a paint brush that can dare to paint a rainbow even in the darkest sky," Kapoor cites as his key inspiration from the book.

The future belongs to vision, design and innovation, he adds.

“Having said that, I foresee an equilibrium between the key attributes of the left and the right hemisphere of the brain, which is an inevitable future for holistic success. As Daniel Pink puts it, ‘Good luck in the age of the art and heart’," Kapoor says.
