LeadCom organizes 'Friday Leadership Series’
July 6, 2007

Ms. Jaya Row, founder of Vedanta Vision, led a session on the Vedanta aspect of leadership. Vedanta Vision is dedicated to the promotion of Vedanta- the Indian philosophy, seen as the oldest management school in the world. She discussed the hierarchy of desires in a human being and stated that there are material desires at the bottom of this pyramid which finally converge to spiritual realization at the apex. She stressed on how indispensable it is for a leader to follow a value-based approach. All the premises were supported by real examples from various walks of life including business, which not only made the interaction more interesting for the participants but also successfully brought forth the practical aspect of spirituality in our lives. By rendering contextual interpretations of verses from the Bhagavad Gita and by citing relevant real life instances, Ms. Jaya Row gave a unique insight into the concepts of Leadership along the lines of Vasudhev Kutumbkam - humanbeings living in an integrated, interdependent world. The interaction helped participants look at the Indian scriptures as a treasure-trove of secrets to lead a life of success, fulfilment and happiness.
