Guide Review - Bhagavad Gita on Effective Leadership

As a program manager at Sprint Corporation, author Pujan Roka is no stranger to leadership concepts. His new book, Bhagavad Gita on Effective Leadership, takes the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and compares it with contemporary leadership theories and practices.

For those who are unfamiliar with the Bhagavad Gita, it is a five thousand year old Eastern text that is considered to be a summary of the essence of ancient Eastern teachings. To read this book, you do not necessarily need to be familiar with the Bhagavad Gita, as the author has included relevant verses in each chapter along with explanations.

All in all, Bhagavad Gita on Effective Leadership is an interesting read. If you want to become an effective leader, I recommend picking up a copy of the book and studying its teachings. You will learn how to challenge yourself, challenge your employees, and become a more well-rounded and selfless leader. You will also learn how to better understand your surroundings and the people who are around you, which is what being a leader is all about.
