"Drawing on the lives of some of the greatest political, intellectual and religious leaders of modern times, and the author's personal experience, Virtuous Leadership demonstrates that leadership and virtue are not only compatible, they are actually synonymous. This ethical leadership book defines each of the classical human virtues most essential to leadership (Parts 1 and 2), examines how leaders grow in virtue (Part 3), demonstrates how virtues lead to self-fulfillment (Part 4), and considers the grandeur of the supernatural virtues of faith, hope, and charity and their impact on leadership (Part 5). This ethical leadership book's final section, Towards Victory, offers a methodology for the achievement of interior growth tailored to the needs of busy, professional people intent on imbuing their lives with a transcendent purpose. Thus, the aim of Virtuous Leadership is ultimately practical. It is meant to be your guidebook in the quest for excellence"--

The profile of Swami Vivekananda as 'A Leader' has previously never been studied and thought about on its own, especially in the light of modern management and leadership theories. In this book published by Advaita Ashrama, a branch of Ramakrishna Math, the author, by correlating Vivekananda's words & deeds with present-day management science, establishes that Vivekananda was a "Perfect Embodiment of the Servant-Leadership Concept" and an "Extraordinary Leader-Manager" decades before these concepts gained acceptance in the Corporate world. An enriching read for present and aspiring Leaders and Managers.
