'The Dharmic Leader,' no leadership model existed that aligned with Hindu or Buddhist secular core values.'The Dharmic Leader' presents a values-based model that draws upon core secular Hindu and Buddhist values that adherents have followed for more than three thousand years. Section I of this book describes the core values and behaviors that reflect the dharmic leadership model. Section II presents an in-depth description of the philosophy that provides the foundation for the dharmic leadership model and how it fits into the West in the 21st century.- 'The Dharmic Leader' is organized into four sections: the leader’s view of reality, the leader’s relationship to self, the leader’s relationship to others, and the leader’s relationship to nature.- It focuses on the leader, not the followers.- It is centered on following dharma; the individual’s responsibility in analyzing each situation, choosing the most appropriate solution reflecting the circumstances of the situation, and taking virtuous action to solve the situation.- It emphasizes the values of respect, humility, equanimity, diversity, the equality of all people, and a holistic view of every situation.- It is flexible. It allows the inclusion of some existing leadership tools and team building techniques.
