Management Insights From Motivational Slokas PDF Download

In India, the Sanskrit literature is an abundant ocean of knowledge and the more we explore, the more we get. In this book, there are around 108 selected slokas, many of which are from Bhartruhari Niti Sataka, Vidura Niti, Kautilya's Arthasastra, Maha Bharatha, Pancatantra and few others. These slokas are basically for the rulers of the kingdoms and are also known as subhashitas (literal meaning is good words of advice). In olden days these Subhashitas were viewed with great respect. Kautilya opined that Subhashita is on par with other basic requirements like water and food. There are many books in English giving the literary meaning of these subhashitas / slokas. But, in this book, an attempt is made to interpret them from leadership and managerial perspectives. And again for the question, why from ancient wisdom, it is felt that people who want happiness in life are increasingly looking towards spirituality as an alternative to materialistic culture. They need some 'spiritual hooks' or 'skyhooks' to cling upon to justify their decisions. The slokas provide the ground on which spiritual thoughts can propel and proliferate. For those who cannot read Devanagari script, an English version of the sloka in I-Trance format is provided. This book is highly useful for practicing managers, leadership coaches, mentors and the CEOs. Though the title of the book refers managerial insights, the book includes psychological, sociological, and human centric perspectives of the business environment.
