In a world of rapid disruption, accelerated change, and unprecedented technological evolution, leadership is being fundamentally transformed. Traditional playbooks no longer serve the purpose. Organizations today must be built not only for efficiency but also for agility, resilience, and human-centered innovation. Addressing this urgent need, Ashish Saxena's new book, The Growth Mandate: Leadership in an Exponential World, emerges as a powerful roadmap for leaders navigating the modern business landscape in all its complexity.
With more than two decades of global experience leading technology, engineering, and services organizations, Ashish brings a rare blend of strategic depth, operational rigor, and human insight. From his early days on the shop floor at Hindalco Industries to leading large-scale growth initiatives at Wipro, TCS, and Innova Solutions, presently driving growth as the Chief Growth Officer at Corestack, his journey has helped shape his view on what truly drives sustainable success. The book distills these lived experiences into actionable frameworks and timeless lessons.
Underpinning the idea of The Growth Mandate is that growth is not a target but a mindset, culture, and disciplined practice. Ashish presents the view that only those organizations are capable of exponential performance, whereby leaders constantly stress purpose over pressure, vision over volatility, and people over processes. He mentions that though technology and data accelerate business outcomes, human potential is where long-term impact is really sustained.
It provides a set of critical dimensions related to leadership in today's world: each is remarkably clear, deep, and highly relevant. Readers are led through the art of building growth-centric organizations where collaboration, learning, and empowerment become embedded in culture. Ashish underlines the importance of human-centric leadership, which can balance empathy with excellence shows how emotional intelligence may amplify decision-making and team performance.
Another important theme is at the juncture of technology and leadership. Living in a world where AI, automation, and analytics are rewriting the rules of competition, Ashish gives very practical insights into how leaders can use digital tools without losing sight of the human experience. He insists that technology should augment human capability, not replace it, and true innovation comes when people feel trusted, valued, and inspired.
The much-needed relevance of The Growth Mandate lies in legacy building. Ashish dares readers to look beyond the quarterly goals at what enduring difference they want to make in the lives of their organizations, teams, and the world. He couldn't have been clearer: effective leadership is not about titles and targets; it's about the lives touched and the values upheld.
The book's tone is practical yet inspiring. It marries strategy with heart, data with intuition, and frameworks with humanity. The reflections, anecdotes, and leadership principles shared through the chapters create relatability for leaders at every level: new managers, seasoned executives, entrepreneurs, and changemakers.
Thought leadership by Ashish Saxena has been featured in Harvard Business Review and Forbes, among other prestigious platforms. He has spoken about his perspectives on popular podcasts such as Lead the Team and The Lifter Leadership Show. His academic grounding from HBTI Kanpur, further complemented by executive learning from Rutgers, Wharton, and Columbia Business School, enhances the depth of ideas explored in this book.
The Growth Mandate is available in paperback, hardbound, and eBook formats, making it widely accessible to readers across formats and geographies.
Coming as it does in a time when disruption seems to be the new normal, this book is a timely compass for anyone seeking clarity, courage, and compassion-anything but a leadership manual. A call to action, it beckons leaders to take up the challenge not of growing businesses alone, but of growing people and leaving behind a legacy to outlast them.
