Alternative Learning: A Voyage for Future Leadership

Abstract

“Where is wisdom we have lost in knowledge?”The alarming proportions of the turbulence and complexity in our present global scenario compel us to take fresh look at our dominant models of management and leadership in search of holism, sustainability and inspiration. The issues are more complex and critical in a country like India with its diversity bordering around gaping disparities. The present paper is an attempt to explore alternative sources and methods of learning for future leadership with insights from classical Indian wisdom literature (The Upanishads, Srimad Bhagavadgita etc.) and messages from great modern Indian leaders like Tagore and Swami Vivekananda. Are we willing to challenge ourselves? If so, then HOW?
