Dharma of Leadership: Wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita in an Uncertain World

Abstract

The post-Covid 19 world is poised to throw up unprecedented challenges before human civilization. This would require creative leadership for solving problems as well as initiating the restoration of core human values that are the foundations of a sustainable world. Leaders of the future will have to ignite the rites of renewal and restoration by which organizations can transcend the very rationale of their existence from a mundane to a spiritual plane, from mere discontinuity to a deeper and greater continuity; from disharmony to sustaining harmony. The notion of dharma in the Bhagavad Gita affirms an enduring life vision for global leaders. It upholds deeper threads of wisdom for a sustainable world order. This paper mines the Bhagavad Gita for timeless values of leadership in our uncertain times.
