Abstract: Abstract The world’s bizarre, peculiar, and the constant changing environment has presented new challenges for leaders, which act as new possibilities to validate their expertise and explore distinct strategies. It requires the implementation of a viable leadership approach, including vigorous, effective, and rational policies in the organizational setting. Ancient scholars have acknowledged the soulful, intense, harmonious, and spiritual pedagogy embodied in the Upanishads of Indian civilization as an extensive notion of knowledge that has provided strength and human values to the people in managing the dynamic and varying circumstances. Spiritual perception develops an energetic and positive sentiment by reducing psychological strain during a crisis and provides new insight and unique vision with a prospective solution. This chapter analyzes the wisdom-related ideologies through narratives and their relevance in the context of today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment after Covid-19 of the organizations for the development of strategies and represents an indigenous concept of sustainable leadership.
