In today’s stress-filled corporate environment, corporate
leaders are increasingly turning towards the world’s time-honored traditions
for relief and insight. While they usually seek relief through yoga practice,
many go further, seeking insight about the nature of yoga and of life itself –
and of how to make it all work in today’s world.
“10 Leadership Sutras from Bhagavad Gita” serves this need
by presenting the wisdom of one of the world’s greatest philosophical classics
in condensed sutra-like nuggets by drawing on the rich commentarial tradition
of the Gita.
The author Chaitanya Charan Das is a prolific writer on the
Gita, having written, apart from a dozen books, over twelve hundred daily
articles on the Gita on his site gitadaily.com. While those articles focus on
Gita insights for seekers, his present book focuses on Gita insights for
leaders. It explains how the Gita offers an inspiring worldview that empowers
one to minimize conflicts, to rise above stress, to not sweat over the small
stuff, to recharge oneself through simple meditational practices and to acquire
indefatigable determination.
The 10 sutras are:
The universe is a university
Redefine success
Be concerned, not disturbed
Mind the mind
Assume accountability
Words shape worlds – watch your words
Life determines our problems – we determine their size
Work as worship
Retreat within to treat without
Never lose heart
Reflecting the Gita’s conversational mode of instruction,
the book is presented as an engaging conversation between a corporate
leadership consultant and a corporate leader. Reflecting the Gita’s inside-out
approach to leadership, the book focuses on the foundation of personal
leadership that is relevant for everyone and then builds on the edifice of
public leadership that most leadership literature dwells on.
10 Leadership Sutras is meant not just for corporate
leaders, but also for leaders in any field and indeed for anyone who wants to
become a leader of one’s own life
