“In various chapters of the Bhagwat Gita, there are interesting references to the quality of leadership,” said Madhavan B, an IIM Bangalore professor who wrote an article titled “Leadership lessons from Bhagwat Gita.” When we look at them closely, three interesting concepts arise. These include a strong desire to lead by example, the significance of cultivating a high level of equanimity, and a knowledge of the mutual dependency concept. The concept of leadership is one of the problems that Lord Krishna emphasises to Arjuna.”
