Bhagavad Gi¯ta¯ and Leadership (eBook, PDF)

A Catalyst for Organizational Transformation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book shows how the Bhagavad Gi¯ta¯ (part of the great Indian epic - the Maha¯bha¯rata) can be approached as a powerful tool for change management and as a catalyst for organizational transformation. It presents time-tested leadership strategies drawn from the Bhagavad Gi¯ta¯ that are relevant for today's leaders. This book focuses on how to harmonize the needs of the individual with the needs of society, and by extension, how to harmonize the needs of employees and the organization. It employs an inside-out leadership development approach based on Self-knowledge and Self-mastery, the two highly important areas for practicing effective Self-leadership. The Gi¯ta¯ is a non-sectarian spiritual text with a universal message for living a life of meaning, purpose, and contribution and for leading from our authentic self. It shows how to manage oneself, as a necessary prelude to leading others. Students and organizational leaders will learn to integrate leadership function more effectively into all aspects at the individual, team, and institutional level.
