In Chapter 5 of 15, leadership philosopher and bootstrap business expert Bijoy Goswami shares how academics, service, and leadership contribute to his goal of stewarding others to enable their purpose. While attending Stanford University, Goswami learns how mental models apply through his studies in computer science, economics, and history. Service helps Goswami create social capital, which he can disperse or invest in others to improve situations. Over time, he earns leadership by actions and progressively takes larger stages where he affects positive change with individuals, businesses, and communities.
