Behavioural Mechanism to Overcome Leadership Challenges: The Role of Inward Looking Leadership

Journal Title: MANTHAN: Journal of Commerce and Management - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

We face leadership challenges arising from conflicting situations and instincts. This paper discusses some of the common modern leadership traits and what our relics suggest. The analysis of most of the leadership theories and practices indicate that finally it is the self-discipline and self-control that can be a major success factor in managing situations, in being more effective leader. Our ancient texts also refer to rising above material growth to attain achievement of maximum joy and fulfilment of life’s objectives. The research shows inward looking approach can help in seeking the true treasures of good judgement and real wisdom within ourselves. Successful leadership requires stepping aside and then to take a look from outside to inside. There is acceptability and concurrence by modern psychologists and thinkers; the approach suggested by our Rishis, Sufis and Zen masters also conveys the same.
