Guide Review - The Leader's Way

Written by His Holiness The Dalai Lama and Laurens Van Den Muyzenberg, The Leader's Way: The Art of Making the Right Decisions in Our Careers, Our Companies, and the World at Large teaches readers about leadership practices and Buddhist concepts to help them perform better in various circumstances.

Throughout the book, Van Den Muyzenberg poses a common problem or challenge that business leaders face. His Holiness addresses each problem and challenge and offers practical advice and Buddhist teaching that leaders can use to handle each individual issue. Some of the topics covered in The Leader's Way include:
  • Meditation techniques
  • Discipline practices
  • Decision making
  • Profits and wealth
  • Business conduct
  • The role of organizations
  • Unforeseeable business problems
I would highly recommend The Leader's Way to managers, business owners, and business school students who are interested in learning more about Buddhist teachings and leadership practices.
