In 1980 I started the National Oil Company of Suriname, STAATSOLIE, with a group of local people from scrath. In 25 years we have built a very profitable and completely integreted oil company for the people of Suriname with our slogan: "Confidence in our own Abilities". It is now the Pride of the Nation. Reading Roka's book I descovered that we have obtained much of our success by living a "Bhavavad Gita-life". We have faced many challenges and also made many errors, which, after reading Pujan Roka's book could have been avoided. I would warmly recommend entrepreneurs and business leaders to read this book, which can served them as a beacon on their journey.

Bhagavad Gita On Effective Leadership: Timeless Wisdom For Leaders by Pujan Roka (Program Manager, Sprint Corporation) is a fascinating and informative introduction to effective business management decision making based upon the ancient and enduring wisdom of the Hindu holy scriptures known as the Bhagavad Gita. Providing concise guidance based upon the inspirational ideals of these ancient scriptures, the Bhagavad Gita On Effective Leadership educates western readers with a comprehensive and "user-friendly" understanding of the most effective approaches to management and leadership issues in the modern world of today. Exceptionally well written and organized for a western readership, the Bhagavad Gita On Effective Leadership is very strongly recommended reading for business managers, corporate executives, and governmental policy makers for its truly remarkable analysis of the Bhagavad Gita and its contained philosophies as applied to the roles and responsibilities of contemporary leaders and managers.

you need to go above and beyond the traditional leadership practices to become a great leader. this is probably the biggest lesson this book has to offer.....nothing new or revolutionary but something that has existed as an age old wisdom in the gita.

Thought provoking book. The author tries to connect two big dots...I think both Eastern and Western readers will find it amusing. Some discussions are easy to understand and are interesting to read. Some concepts are not easy to understand and requires an understanding of metaphysics. I think a reader has to have some knowledge of Eastern philosophy, metaphysics and management concepts to get the best read out of this book. Or this book may very well be giving a quick introduction of these three areas.

This book affirms that leadership wisdom existed thousands of years ago in the East. Those who are interested in leadership texts will be intrigued by the lessons the Bhagavad Gita has to offer. The author brings into light the wisdom that was never before examined from the leadership perspective. A timely book for an age craving for more effective leaders.
