Become an Authentic Leader

In this follow-up to his internationally acclaimed Leadership for an Age of Higher Consciousness: Management from a Metaphysical Perspective, His Holiness Bhakti Tirtha Sami Krishnapada explores the greatness of two famous leaders of the Vedic tradition of ancient India.

Addressing the leader within each of us, B. T. Swami shows us that the greatest leaders see themselves as servants first, put integrity and character before personal gain, and know how to take advantage of the help available both of the earthly and spiritual kingdoms. True servant leaders are vital visionaries who cultivate divine power to transform diverse individuals with scattered goals into communities with a unified and sacred mission.

 

“Good leadership is not just about making things happen; It's making essential things happen, making important and productive things happen, and helping people feel good about what's happening. Leaders need to have a vision, but they also need to know how to convince others that their vision can be manifested, and how it can empower them to participate in the mission of making the vision happen.”
