The Leadership Sutra An Indian Approach to Power

Power doesn’t always roar. Sometimes, it listens. Observes. Waits. And when it moves, it transforms everything. That’s the kind of leadership Devdutt Pattanaik invites you to explore in The Leadership Sutra. Not through case studies or boardroom theories—but through stories, symbols, and ancient Indian wisdom that still pulses with relevance today.

Here’s something fascinating: over 75% of global leadership content is based on Western models. Yet India, with its 5,000-year-old history, has been quietly shaping minds with its own version of influence, authority, and dharma (duty). This book doesn’t just revisit that—it reframes it for the modern reader. No fluff. Just practical insights wrapped in mythology and metaphor.

What’s the real cost of ego in leadership? How do emotions shape decisions more than data ever could? Why do some leaders inspire, while others simply command? You’ll get answers here. Actionable, thought-provoking, and often uncomfortable ones. But the kind that makes you pause—and grow.

I’ve read it cover to cover, and let me tell you: this isn’t just a book; it’s a mirror. You’ll see yourself in it. Sometimes as Krishna. Sometimes as Ravana. And that’s the whole point. Leadership isn’t a role. It’s a way of being.

Whether you’re leading a team, a company, or just your own messy life—this book matters.
