Pujan Roka's Bhagavad Gita on Effective Leadership
compares the concepts discussed in the Bhagavad Gita with contemporary
leadership theories and practices. This book uses Lord Krishna's
pearls of wisdom on leadership and enlightens us on the qualities
of an effective leader. Those interested in developing that aspect
of their personalities, those who want to spearhead a team or those
who are already heading teams and want to improve, will benefit
a great deal from the lessons of the Bhagavad Gita has to offer.
The author lists relevant verses in each chapter along with its
explanations.
Pujan Roka gives examples of various great leaders
from the past like the Pope, Mahatma Gandhi and finds out what made
them such. He says that we fail to have such leaders now because
the motives of leadership itself have changed with the changing
times.
Another noteworthy feature of this book is that
you don't have to a Hindu to follow the rules or be familiar with
the Bhagavad Gita to understand the concepts in this book. This
book extracts the principles that are universal in their application
and are effective even today.
The principles laid down will not only
help you become a great leader but a truly great one.
