Bhagavad Gita, according to the Indian philosopher Adi Sankaracharya is a summary of all the Vedic Literatures1. Divided into 18 chapters, this Indian scripture deciphers five major branches of knowledge: Isvara (the Supreme God), Jiva (the spirit soul/the living entity), Prakriti (the material nature), Kala (the time), and Karma (the activities) in seven hundred verses. Many important traits of an effective leader emerge from various chapters of this text. The objective of this paper is to describe the attributes and activities of an effective leader as prescribed in Bhagavad Gita. The paper employs the methodology of hermeneutics to do so.

Effective leadership traits from Bhagavad Gita

Srimad Bhagavad Gita is one of the highly cited ancient wisdoms of India. It is germane to human life. Communication is inevitable in human life as well as in all its endeavours, including business. In this study, I have made an attempt to explore certain wisdoms of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita Hermeneutically and have related them to human endeavours in business. In such an endeavour, Lindeborg's perspective of excellence in communication was related to identified wisdoms of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. © 2016 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
