Whether you are looking for advice to solve your most persistent problem
or seeking for wisdom in times of uncertainly, ‘Timeless
Leadership: 18 Leadership Sutras from the Bhagavad Gita’ is a
unique interpretation of an internationally recognized classic that will
help you deal with discontinuities in life and work.
Unlike technology, ideas do not become obsolete with time. In fact, if
the idea is great, it becomes more valuable as it grows old. In this new
book by Debashis Chatterjee, the author weaves many threads of ideas
from the wisdom of the ‘Gita’ to shed light on issues and
challenges for leaders at all levels.
The Bhagavad Gita ("Song of God") is revered as a sacred scripture of
Hinduism, and considered as one of the most important religious classics
of the world. The content of the ‘Gita’ is the conversation
between Krishna and Arjuna taking place on the battlefield before the
start of the Kurukshetra war. Responding to Arjuna's confusion and moral
dilemma, Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and prince
and elaborates on different Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, with
examples and analogies. This has led to the ‘Gita’ being
described as a guide to Hindu philosophy and a practical, self-contained
guide to life. Other experts have described it as a lighthouse of
eternal wisdom that has the ability to inspire any man or woman to
supreme accomplishment and enlightenment.
This book details how the sage advice of the past can help you deal with
the pressures of today’s business world in order to better understand
and implement your vision, make better decisions, and much more. It
presents the wisdom of the ancient world in a readily accessible way to
help you become a better, more productive and more satisfied leader.
Outlining the ABCs of leadership success—‘Authenticity’ to your
core values, ‘Being’ a true leader, and ‘Convergence’ between
where you are and where you want to be—the book shows exactly how the
teachings of the ‘Gita’ can be used to solve life's most puzzling
problems.
Dipak C. Jain, Dean of INSEAD said, "Anyone seeking clarity about
leadership's ultimate foundation will embrace this book."
The ‘Bhagavad Gita’ is as relevant in the boardrooms of the
twenty-first century as it was on the battlefields of ancient India, and
‘Timeless Leadership’ brings the knowledge of past millennia
to today’s business leaders, so you can achieve greater success—in the
workplace and beyond.
