Chapter 1 in Ethical Leadership, 2016, pp 3-13 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The exchange of ideas between India and Europe about economics and politics dates back centuries. However, the modern India-Europe dialogue on the spiritual and ethical basis of management and leadership started in the late twentieth century. Leading figures in this dialogue include S. K. Chakraborty (IIM Calcutta) and Peter Pruzan (Copenhagen Business School). They started to explore the differences and similarities between Indian and European approaches to management theory and practice. The common convinction is that without deep spiritual reflection, business leaders will not be able to contribute to restoring the endangered ecosystems of the Earth, or to providing decent livelihoods for present and future generations. The good news is that there are vast resources of long-accumulated Indian and European spiritual wealth and wisdom available for immediate use in this urgent task of transformation.
