The Leadership Sutra: An Indian Approach to Power by Devdutt Pattanaik [Hardcover]

The Leadership Sutra by Devdutt Pattanaik delves into the complex dynamics of power and leadership through the lens of Indian mythology. Drawing from his earlier work, Business Sutra, Pattanaik explores how power, often viewed negatively, is a vital tool for effective leadership. He examines the nature of dominance, the significance of empowerment, and the balance between rules and individual self-esteem. Using stories and symbols from Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist traditions, the book provides original insights into the human quest for significance and the challenges leaders face in managing their desires and anxieties. Richly illustrated and filled with relatable anecdotes, it offers a fresh perspective on how leaders can navigate the intricacies of power.
