Hey, Umer here!
Welcome back to Life Sized Voices—
where we go beyond the pages and into the stories behind the books.
This time, I sat down with Dr. Mythili Kolluru—assistant professor,
speaker, and award-winning author of Perspectives on Leadership:
Through her work with Knowledge Oman, Mythili discovered that true leadership
isn’t about titles—it’s about collaboration, service, and lifting others up.
Her book captures that spirit, showing how one organization turned a simple idea
into a nationwide movement of knowledge sharing.
If you’ve ever wondered what real leadership looks like, this one’s for you.
The Spark
Some books start with ambition. Others start with gratitude.
For Dr. Mythili, it was a deep appreciation for the vision of Knowledge Oman—
an initiative powered entirely by volunteers, driven by purpose, not profit.
She saw an opportunity to document the journey of an organization
that defied stereotypes, one that proved that leadership is measured by impact,
not titles.
What started as an idea for a case study soon evolved into something much bigger:
a blueprint for community-driven leadership that could inspire the world.
Inside the Pages
At its core, Perspectives on Leadership is about one thing:
✔ Leadership isn’t about status—it’s about service.
✔ Success isn’t measured in profit—it’s measured in people empowered.
✔ Knowledge, when shared freely, has the power to transform entire communities.
Through real stories, insights, and lessons from Knowledge Oman’s journey,
this book challenges everything you thought you knew about leadership—
and offers a new path forward.

others up, creating spaces for growth, and building legacies that last.
