The Soft Hand That Everyone Fears

This book addresses a series of concise messages to anyone interested in one of the most important professions today: internal auditing. It’s aimed at aspiring internal auditors, entry-level practitioners, experienced professionals, senior and executive management, department heads involved in internal audit activities, and board members. The book seeks to clarify a range of questions, reflections, and ideas, and perhaps it’s no exaggeration to mention the myths surrounding the profession, the role of internal auditing, and its practitioners.

This book will provide a clear and straightforward answer to a number of questions that have long been circulating within organizations, among employees at all levels who are not auditors, and among skeptics with varying intentions: “What is the actual role of auditing? What do they do? What do they write? What services do they provide? Is there added value in their reports? Are they adequately qualified? Are there standards governing their work? Are they like police officers?”

But the bigger question is, “They audit us and evaluate our activities, but who audits them and evaluates their activities?”

Through this book, I wanted to present the auditing profession from a different perspective, as a strategic partner within the organization, and to definitively dispel any ambiguity or confusion surrounding the auditing profession for all stakeholders. After finishing the book, I believe the reader might even suggest changing the title to “The Soft Hand Everyone Loves” instead of “The Hand Everyone Fears.” Let’s see!

The Walk Leads The Talk

Not every leader is known for how much they say; some are known before they even speak… By his steps.

This book is an intellectual and human journey into the world of silent leadership, where movement, walking, and the way of entering a place reveal the true presence of the leader and their impact on others.

The book focuses on how footsteps shape the first impression and how they express values, confidence, balance, and moral authority without the need for speech or direct guidance.

It offers realistic reflections from work environments and analyzes how leadership is perceived through unspoken daily behavior and how gait transforms into a language of influence understood by all.

“The Leader’s Steps Precede His Words” is not a book about appearance or looks but about essence:

About a leader who is seen before being heard, whose presence is felt before it is imposed, and who leads by his impact before his words.

A book aimed at anyone striving to build a genuine professional presence and a leadership that is respected because it is lived, not just spoken.

365 Elephants In The Office

On April 18, 2024, I fired off what I was sure was the WhatsApp message to end all messages—a 7‑figure Dubai business deal in the making. But my smug satisfaction turned to grey‑tick purgatory when my contact casually confessed he’d disabled read receipts. Cue meltdown, keyboard-bashing, and the birth of The Elephant in the Office, my daily LinkedIn newsletter. 365 days later, with over 1,000 loyal readers, I turned office life’s daily melodrama into a year-long parade of wit, wonder, and wacky wisdom. This book captures it all—quirks, elephants, and the endless hustle of modern work.

The Hidden Code For Business Success

The “hidden code” of the title refers to Sagar’s firm belief that creating successful new ventures is as much a science as an art: that every great business begins with a dream and a vision, but that establishing a successful business is based on a set of “do’s and don’ts” that can be learned by anyone with the motivation.Sagar acquired this vital know-how the hard way: gaining experience as an employee and a manager and later managing the launch of the first free zone in the UAE based on a public-private partnership.Sagar has now launched over 31 ventures with a combined valuation of over $350 million, employing more than 3,000 people worldwide.
