While those articles focus on Gita insights for seekers, his present book focuses on Gita insights for leaders. It explains how the Gita offers an inspiring worldview that empowers one to minimize conflicts, to rise above stress, to not sweat over the small stuff, to recharge oneself through simple meditational practices and to acquire indefatigable determination. <\/p>\n<p>The 10 sutras are: <\/p>\n<p>1.     The universe is a university<\/p>\n<p>2.     Redefine success<\/p>\n<p>3.     Be concerned, not disturbed <\/p>\n<p>4.     Mind the mind<\/p>\n<p>5.     Assume accountability <\/p>\n<p>6.     Words shape worlds \u2013 watch your words <\/p>\n<p>7.     Life determines our problems \u2013 we determine their size<\/p>\n<p>8.     Work as worship <\/p>\n<p>9.     Retreat within to treat without <\/p>\n<p>10. Never lose heart<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting the Gita\u2019s conversational mode of instruction, the book is presented as an engaging conversation between a corporate leadership consultant and a corporate leader. Reflecting the Gita\u2019s inside-out approach to leadership, the book focuses on the foundation of personal leadership that is relevant for everyone and then builds on the edifice of public leadership that most leadership literature dwells on. <\/p>\n<p>10 Leadership Sutras is meant not just for corporate leaders, but also for leaders in any field and indeed for anyone who wants to become a leader of one\u2019s own life. <\/p>\n<p> The book is available as:<\/p>\n<li>A kindle book at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00R9O9SW6\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00R9O9SW6<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A POD in India at <a href=\"http:\/\/pothi.com\/pothi\/book\/chaitanya-charan-10-leadership-sutras-bhagavad-gita\">http:\/\/pothi.com\/pothi\/book\/chaitanya-charan-10-leadership-sutras-bhagavad-gita<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A POD outside India at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.createspace.com\/5188866\">https:\/\/www.createspace.com\/5188866<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A mail-orderable hard copy at <a href=\"mailto:voicebooks@gmail.com\">voicebooks@gmail.com<\/a><\/li>\n<p>The book will also be soon presented as an online video course at gitadaily.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-70fmQogjAtw\/VLlNqNj-jvI\/AAAAAAAAKyU\/402ydMH11Xs\/s0\/2015-01-16_18-43-04.jpg\" alt=\"Hare Krishna\"\/><strong>By krishna das<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s stress-filled environment, corporate leaders are increasingly turning towards the world\u2019s time-honored traditions for relief and insight.
