From the Book.

This book portrays an emerging global culture. This path-breaking book offers the experience and perspectives of 31 top executives from 15 countries in 6 continents. They are executives who express from their first hand experience what it is like to lead a business from spiritual basis. They tell amazing, down-to-earth, real-life stories about how spirituality and rationality can go hand in hand in leadership and life.

Their words of wisdom demonstrate that executives who lead from spiritual basis can achieve success, recognition, peace of mind and happiness, while at the same time serving the needs of all those affected by their leadership.

Written in an engaging style, where the special ‘voice’ of each leader is heard, this book will be profoundly valuable to business leaders at every level and for all those women and men who want to lead with integrity from a spiritual basis.

Janice Webb, Senior Vice President, Motorola, USA. For me, the single most important issue we have to conquer in life is fear. And the way I conquer fear is by getting in touch with my spiritual Self. ………I believe that a position of power is a position of serving the people around you. I feel it is my job to serve people. No one gets anywhere by themselves. I am only as good as the people around me. ………I do not identify myself with my title ; that’s the label someone decided to put on me ——.

Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, Former President of India. The most important thing (the core competence of business is righteousness), dharma. When there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character. When there is beauty in the character, there is harmony in the house. When there is harmony in the house, there is order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world. The question therefore before all of us today is, how to get righteousness in the heart?

My Impressions.

This is the book that would clarify the doubts of all those who struggle with the question ‘Is it possible to be ethical in an unethical environment?’ Reading the ethical convictions & success stories of achievers in the Corporate Sector and life, one would be inspired to pursue a principle-centered life style. Must read for the youth in particular.
