Leadership Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita: Snippet Preview and inspired poem

The book 'Leadership Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita' [1] is authored by Ace V. Simpson (2024) and is available in paperback from Bloomsbury and Amazon.

The book's promotional comment inform, "For professionals grappling with the challenges of corporate life, Leadership Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita offers a transformative path to overcome self-defeating habits and silence the mind's negative chatter-often the greatest barrier to effective leadership. This book advocates for a leadership style rooted in compassion for followers, stakeholders, and future generations, paving the way for harmonious workplace relationships and environmental stewardship."

The two claimed salient features of the book are as follows

• Moving away from conventional leadership models based on control, it promotes leadership by inspiration. At a time when trust in leadership is waning, this book introduces the concept of linked-leadership-leaders who connect through loving connection or bhakti-yoga with themselves (through self-knowledge), others, nature, and the supreme source. Drawing on the example of Krishna guiding Arjuna's chariot, it redefines leadership as a commitment to service, excellence, and virtuous character, inspiring others to follow suit.

• Its unique insights help you understand different personality types, motivating individuals according to their nature, and building effective teams for a harmonious and prosperous organizational culture. Ultimately, this book challenges leaders to embrace unity and diversity, achieving sustainable well-being and happiness in their organizations.

Inspired Poem

From good to great, a leader's quest,

Gita's wisdom, put to the test.

Beyond the change, a brighter way,

Compassion's light, to light the day.

Selfless service, the guiding star,

Realized soul, near and far.

Unity's thread, a woven might,

Equitable bonds, shining bright.

Co-managing all, to reach their prime,

Duty's call, transcending time.
