Spirit-Centered, Rajashi Leadership
The Sanskrit dictum “svarat samrat bhavati” means that one who can rule or govern oneself can also lead others well. That is, the ideal or model leader exercises leadership on himself or herself first. This entails bringing forth the hidden Spirit into the forefront of the leader’s personality. Then the leader becomes empowered to lead others. Indian civilization is based on the groundwork laid by such leaders, called Rajarshi’s, which literally means a king and a sage. In this model, the schism between the secular and the sacred vanishes (the king is the secular aspect while rishi is the sacred aspect). Great examples of Spirit-centered, Rajarshi leadership in Indian history include Emperor Ashoka (220–300 BC), Jamshedji Tata (nineteenth century), Mahatma Gandhi (twentieth century) and R. K. Talwar (twentieth century). The twenty-first century need Spirit-centered or Rajarshi leadership because the vast, hidden and irreversible damages caused by science and technology driven economic growth, which thrives on globalized greed, needs to be halted. Spirituality has to be the master, not the servant of material attempts. Relevance to the bottom line of business cannot be the test for spirituality. Instead spirituality has to be the benchmark for business projects.
¡°THE QUEST FOR THE TRUTH¡±: SPIRITUAL MANAGEMENT AND ITS SHADOWS IN ACADEMIC LITERATURE
The present research is aimed at analyzing spirituality according to the way it is presented in academic management literature. To uncover comprehensively way this phenomenon is described, a thorough scientific analysis of the selected articles was performed including coding the materials, systematically categorizing them as well as critically investigating particular aspects. While conducting the literature study, the selected and studied academic articles were analyzed from a range of standpoints such as cultural influences, mobbing/bullying, availability of unique practices, what spirituality is according to the articles, how intellectually and emotionally the sources affect a reader, etc. This study shows how the academic literature presents spirituality, viz. it describes only the ¨Dfacadei¬ of spiritual management while the core (direct discussion about managing onei®s spirit) is silenced and not addressed by researchers. In spite of this, the concept makes an impression of being a full-fledged one which in actual fact was achieved through intellectual and emotional pressure on a reader.
