Timeless Leadership


Timeless Leadership provides eighteen lessons about being a leader from the Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Indian sacred text. This is no ordinary “leadership according to” book. The author plummets the depths of what it means to be a leader. Chatterjee, a scholar and leadership coach, approaches his subject with sensitivity and reverence. Reading this book is like entering into the calm of a sacred space. Chatterjee makes clear the spiritual, philosophical, and practical implications of the Bhagavad Gita for leaders. This book explores the spirituality of leadership without advocating any particular religious perspective. True leadership emerges from within the leader. This book should be the starting point for anyone wanting to be a leader. There are many volumes that focus on technique. Chatterjee has written a guide on how to integrate being a leader into one’s personal identity.
