A great deal, according to this engaging analysis by Debashis Chatterjee, who considers leadership through the lens of the \u003ci\u003eBhagavad Gita\u003c\/i\u003e. Readers will benefit from Chatterjee's close reading of the Gita, as he traces the leadership journey of a classic hero, Arjuna. We learn that leaders reach their full potential only if they overcome the limitations of their ego. They do this by cultivating a mentality that sees reality clearly, not through the faulty perceptions of a mind unsettled by a \"mob\" of emotion and conditioned impulses. Chatterjee's leader is courageous but also humbled by the quest for profound self-knowledge that leads to truth and the ability to work with the devotion of \"love made visible.\" Anyone seeking clarity about leadership's ultimate foundation will embrace this book.\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e --\u003cb\u003eDipak C.
