Seasoned global media, management, and political consultant, U. Mahesh Prabhu has unveiled his latest book The Vedic Approach to Management for Sustainable Leadership.
The book shares insights on knowing, understanding, and realizing, timeless yet time-tested Vedic teachings from which modern individuals and leaders can seek greater clarity, create opportunities, even amid great uncertainties, and attain sustainable prosperity.
“Management is crucial – not just for individuals in leadership positions, but for anyone with responsibilities. Managing is about utilizing limited available resources to create value, generate wealth and achieve viable prosperity. While there is no shortage of appealing and entertaining definitions on the subject matter; the knowledge and approach to achieve these objectives are limited. The oldest works on management and leadership – Arthashastra and Artha Sutras, were written by the Vedic Rishis (sages) over thousands of years. These Rishis even offered pro bono services to the kings; as their rajagurus (royal mentors). Some of these rajagurus even helped to build some of the most powerful and prosperous empires of their times. Their teachings on management, leadership, and wealth creation are not driven by short-lived processes; but by helping individuals to achieve and retain a calm mind to identify challenges, create credible strategies to achieve daunting objectives,” says Prabhu, who has authored and published eight other titles, over the years
