Sheena Joseph, a seasoned leader in the telecom industry, has always stood out for her ability to lead large operations with precision. Her professional journey includes top roles at major companies like Reliance, Tata, and Birla Group. But beyond her executive presence, Sheena has now added a unique feather to her cap—authoring a poetry book on corporate life.
Corporate Culture, Rewritten in Verse
Her latest work, Rhymes of Corporate Crimes, is not another management book filled with jargon. Instead, it is a poetic take on life inside offices—the politics, pressure, power, and paradoxes that often go unspoken. In a world where business writing tends to be rigid, Sheena brings emotions to the forefront, using verse as a tool for reflection and resilience.
The Push That Put Poetry on Paper
“I’ve always enjoyed poetry. It has the power to say a lot without shouting,” says Sheena. “Business books rarely capture the emotional toll of work. Through poetry, I wanted to reflect the truth behind the polished presentations and endless meetings.”
Written over five months, the book features 50 poems that touch on topics rarely discussed out loud in offices. These include leadership challenges, ethical compromises, silent employee battles, corporate betrayal, and eventually, hope.
Key Themes in Rhymes of Corporate Crimes
- Leadership & Power: How authority can become a burden.
- Ethical Grey Areas: The quiet struggles behind closed doors.
- The Unseen Struggles: From burnout to hidden dreams.
- Corporate Politics: Loyalties that shift with boardroom moves.
- Hope in the System: Stories of people who choose the right path, even when it’s tough.
Not Just Noticed—Celebrated
Sheena’s fresh and bold approach has not gone unnoticed. She was awarded the 21st Century Emily Dickinson Award, a rare recognition for someone coming from a business background.
Her first book, CX MasterBytes, had already made waves in the business world. It was named “Book of the Year 2024” in the Business Books category by Literary Insider, highlighting her skill in simplifying customer experience strategies for leaders across industries.
Same Author, Different Voice
Before Rhymes of Corporate Crimes, Sheena authored CX MasterBytes: A Leader’s Handbook—a well-received guide to improving customer experience in modern organizations. That book was a toolkit for professionals, offering proven strategies on customer engagement, service design, and technology use.
While CX MasterBytes focused on business strategy, Rhymes of Corporate Crimes brings the reader closer to the human side of those strategies. It’s a bold shift from method to emotion, from plans to people.
Beyond Rhymes—Real Stories from Work Life
The book isn’t only for poetry lovers. It’s for professionals—whether just starting out or nearing retirement—who have lived the highs and lows of work. It offers comfort, reflection, and sometimes, a little laugh about the shared experiences many face in the corporate world.
More Books, More Bold Ideas
Sheena continues to write and work on blending insights from leadership and literature. Her voice is clear: business is not just numbers and goals—it’s also made of people and emotions.
For those wanting a break from traditional corporate books, Rhymes of Corporate Crimes is a refreshing read that speaks to the heart and mind alike.
