Description: The Bhagavad Gita has been predominantly considered a scriptural summary of the essence of ancient Eastern teachings and wisdom, as studied in the contexts of philosophy, theology, and ancient Eastern literature. Many contemporary writers and thinkers of leadership have presented theories and practices that are similar to the concepts discussed in the Bhagavad Gita. Pujan Roka's Bhagavad Gita on Effective Leadership is the first to compare the concepts discussed in the Bhagavad Gita with contemporary leadership theories and practices. The Bhagavad Gita attests that the subject of leadership was profound in the ancient East; and its principles are still applicable to business and organizations today. For example, a leader's emotional intelligence, such as selfawareness and empathy, can have a large impact on an organization. Drawing on the brilliant insights gained from the Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavad Gita on Effective Leadership can show you how to be a valuable leader.
