Bhagavad Gita and Modern Day Managers

Cultivate sound philosophy of life.
Identify with inner core of self-sufficiency
Get out of the habitual mindset towards the pairs of opposites.
Strive for excellence through work is worship.
Build up an internal integrated reference point to face contrary impulses, and emotions
Pursue ethico-moral rectitude.
Cultivating this understanding by a manager would lead him to emancipation from falsifying ego-conscious state of confusion and distortion, to a state of pure and free mind i.e. universal, supreme consciousness wherefrom he can prove his effectiveness in discharging whatever duties that have fallen to his domain.
Bhagawan’s advice is relevant here :
“tasmaat sarveshu kaaleshu mamanusmarah yuddha cha”
‘Therefore under all circumstances remember Me and then fight’ (Fight means perform your duties)
Management Needs those Who Practise what the Preach
Whatever the excellent and best ones do, the commoners follow, so says Sri Krishna in the Gita. This is the leadership quality prescribed in the Gita. The visionary leader must also be a missionary, extremely practical, intensively dynamic and capable of translating dreams into reality. This dynamism and strength of a true leader flows from an inspired and spontaneous motivation to help others. “I am the strength of those who are devoid of personal desire and attachment. O Arjuna, I am the legitimate desire in those, who are not opposed to righteousness” says Sri Krishna in the 10th Chapter of the Gita.
