RK Jain said, "The book Leaders & Ladders is based on the author’s experiences during the journey of building a successful organisation.”

The author Rakesh Jain who is a very good friend of R K Jain is hoping that “readers will be able to relate to many situations and concepts explained in the book. The concepts such as “special traits of people” discuss various types of traits exhibited by individual leaders. It also explains how to deal with them to get the best results.

“One person makes the difference” - is the premise of the book. The ladders suggested in the book show the path towards becoming that “One Person” who can create a big , successful and growth oriented organisation.

Rakesh Jain in his blog jottings points out, “What helps an entrepreneur fulfil his dream or a leader grow to higher positions is explained in easy-to-understand words. This book helps you in identifying your limitations which impede your growth and helps to fulfil the gaps between role, expectations and performance.”

Emphasis has been given to “placing right people at the right level” and developing leaders within the organisation through the concept of "leadership factory”. These leaders  are instrumental in the successful implementation of idea, strategy and objectives conceived by the entrepreneur for the business.
