Leadership by Example: The Ten Key Principles of All Great Leaders

His most requested keynote, delivered more than sixty times across the United States and in more than a dozen countries.

Great leaders, Dr. Chopra argues, are not made by the offices they occupy. They are defined by character: by integrity, courage, generosity, and the ability to bring out the best in others.

Built from history, literature, and a career spent mentoring physicians at Harvard, this keynote lays out ten principles anyone can cultivate, each illustrated with a memorable story drawn from lives like those of Mahatma Gandhi, Florence Nightingale, and Winston Churchill. It is based on his book of the same name, written with David Fisher.
