Effective People Management Lessons from Ancient Indian Wisdom by Guru Smt. Vishaka Hari

About the program:

Leadership is about conquering the outside from the inside. It is about developing the ability to see imperfection perfectly. Successfully meeting the challenge of effective leadership has two aspects that are integral to it. The first of these consists in restoring primacy to dharma or righteousness and satyam or fidelity to truth as its essential success indicators, while the second might be termed as ‘outer’ development and ‘inner’ development. These four attributes are critical to developing leadership competence. What are missing in mainstream discourse on leadership development are the insights that can be found in ancient Indian wisdom.

The challenge of leadership in the universe we live is as urgent as it is compelling. Leadership talent needs to be nurtured across state and civil society.  The crisis of leadership in the world is a direct result of the fact that people occupying leadership positions lack the wherewithal to deal with the challenges they confront because they have not been through a trial by fire. Touching fire is tantamount to becoming fire. The torch was first lit in ancient India. It must now embrace the universe.
