Drawing from sources as diverse as the Mahabharata and the Bible, the Vikram-Betal  stories; the Ihad and the Odyssey, Islamic tenets, the tales of rishis and kings, and fables from around the world, Devdutt Pattanaik, India's leading mythologist, provides a fascinating account of what leadership entails. How to choose the right leader, effectively communicate with a boss, maintain the right balance between discipline and leniency? In these and other workplace situations, Pattaniak shows what the leaders if today can learn about the art of leadership from stories written thousand of years ago, things no management course can teach.
