“Sometimes ‘looking backward' is the best way to ‘look forward.' Bhagavad Gita on Effective Leadership does just this! Coaching from the old world – that fits the new world."

"Bhagavad Gita on Effective Leadership presents the ancient leadership wisdom that is very relevant to today's world. Leaders will find this wisdom very practical."

"This book transcends the things leaders do to be effective. It defines what a leader must be. As you read Bhagavad Gita on Effective Leadership , you will recognize and validate what you do as a leader, and challenge you to become a more compassionate and selfless leader. Many will find the challenge great. This is the right book at the right time, is long overdue, and will profoundly impact you and the people you lead."

Note from Peter Senge

"In these times of unprecedented global stresses, leaders of all sorts need to achieve deeper levels of clarity and connection (with nature and their higher selves) than traditionally required in order to "do business as usual." So, it is not surprising that many are renewing serious study of ancient wisdom traditions of all sorts, including timeless texts like the Bhagavad Gita. Ancient wisdom and modern wisdom still come down to wisdom, the most precious commodity in all times of profound change." (July 14, 2005)
