Drawing upon the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, a
philosophical-spiritual world classic, this professional book
highlights the spiritual and moral dimensions of management using
an inside-out leadership development approach. It interprets the
Bhagavad Gita's teachings on the personality types and
psychological makeup of managers and employees; self-knowledge and
self-mastery; and the leadership concepts of vision, motivation,
and empowerment. This book covers topics such as training of the
mind, ethical leadership, communication, stress management, and
corporate social responsibility (CSR). Collectively, the enclosed
contributions provide managers with an enhanced outlook on
management functions such as leading, planning, organizing, and
controlling in today's organizations, particularly those run by
knowledge workers. Management research in the 20th century has
mainly focused on the industrial paradigm characterized by a
hierarchical structure of authority and responsibility with an
individualistic focus on the personality of the manager. However,
this traditional paradigm cannot solve many of the problems that
confront leaders and mangers today. Recent studies have shown that
values traditionally associated with spirituality-such as
integrity, honesty, trust, kindness, caring, fairness, and
humility-have a demonstrable effect on managerial effectiveness and
success. Although traditionally interpreted as a
religious-spiritual text, the Bhagavad Gita teaches these values
which can be extrapolated and applied to practical management
lessons in today's corporate boardrooms. Applying the text of the
Bhagavad Gita to the context of management, this book views the
manager as an "enlightened sage" who operates from higher stance,
guided by self-knowledge and self-mastery. It demonstrates how
character is the key ingredient for effective management and
leadership. This book is therefore applicable to all managers, from
first-line to CEOs, in their management and leadership roles in
organizations.
