Organizational Skills in Perspective of Vedanta

Abstract

To keep any organization dynamic, healthy, and productive the managerial personnel must have certain special personality traits and capacities. They should be the source of creative ideas. They should be conscious of the desires, aspirations, needs, and problems of their community, and should have the ability to dispassionately look at, understand and evaluate events and people not only from the material point of view, but from the psychological and spiritual points of view as well. They must have an insight into the deeper aspects of human motivation in order to harness all the potentialities of the employees, both for the individual’s growth and the growth of the organization. Above all, they must know the technique of right action through which they can prevent dissipation and disintegration of their own personalities. If we view business enterprise in the perspective of Vedanta, the practice of management will acquire a new complexion and it will no longer be a purely objective exercise to achieve external results. It will concern itself equally with the subjective aspect of individuals. Ancient insights and modern-day management theory are combined now a days and it is practically happening in large organizations like Google where eastern wisdom is changing western business.
