Management, Selflessness and the Bhagavad Gita [Archive.org URL]

This article offers a difficult message because it asks us to reverse many of the recent motivations in business. It asks us to seek selflessness rather than selfishness. It uses old-fashioned words like “duty” and re-interprets Maslow’s concept of self-actualization in a most enlightening fashion. It asks us to take responsibility for what we do. At one point, the author says:

“Mere work ethic is not enough. The hardened criminal demonstrates a very good work ethic. What is needed is a work ethic conditioned by ethics in work.”
