Summary: Can leadership lessons be learnt from the Mahabharata? Demystifying leadership positively asserts that we can and probes inquiry in the lives of six characters— Bhishma, ashvatthama, karna, shakuni, br> Kunti and Krishna. It studies these characters in inescapable situations as they navigate through life by demonstrating values, decision-making ability, integrity and principles. Within the given constraints, some of these characters swim and rise, while others sink in moral turpitude. Extrapolating these successful and not-so-successful character traits to corporate leaders and linking them to scholarship, the authors provide lessons for leaders and managers operating in diverse situations. Borrowing from different disciplines, such as literature, philosophy, politics and Psychology, demystifying leadership proposes to link essentials of leadership in the form of a leadership triangle comprising six levels: positive personality, peace with personal identity, purpose, positive use of power and politics, paradoxical leadership and principled pragmatism. It takes a grounded approach in amalgamating mythology and leadership through scholarship and practice. source: https://www.amazon.in/dp/9354350933?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
