Infusing a Spiritual Dimensions in Management Scholarship

In recent months, Dr. Satinder Dhiman, Associate Dean School of Business and Director of the MBA program, has made an impressive series of contributions to the scholarly database of spiritual management. His single-authored book, Bhagavad Gītā and Leadership: A Catalyst for Organizational Transformation was published by Palgrave MacMillan. This work highlights the much-needed moral and spiritual dimension of leadership in a most distinctive way. It employs an inside-out leadership development approach based on self-knowledge and self-mastery–two highly important areas for practicing effective self-leadership.
Additionally, Dr. Dhiman published an anthology, titled Managing By the Bhagavad Gītā: Timeless Lessons for Today’s Managers (Dhiman, S. & Amar, A.D.[Eds.], Springer, 2019). This work applies the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gītā to management in order to address modern management dilemmas. Also active in India, Dr. Dhiman published Spiritual Leadership. English, Hindi, and Gujarati: A Trilingual Edition (Gujrat, India: Shree Swāmīnārā yan Temple, Kundaldhām & Kārelibāug-Vadodarā).

Dr. Dhiman also served as the lead author in a scholarly article, published in The Journal of Values-Based Leadership Vol. 12: Issuue, 1 Article 6, titled, “Celebrating Diversity through Spirituality in the Workplace: Transforming Organizations Holistically.” Co-authors to this work are Sanjay Modi and Varinder Kumar.
Last December, Dr. Dhiman engaged in a series of presentations and panel discussions in India, listed below:
  • Dhiman, S. (December 22, 2018). “Life and Leadership Lessons from the Bhagavad Gītā.” 11th World Confluence of Humanity, Power and Spirituality. Kolkata, December 21-22, 2018.
  • Dhiman, S., Palmarozza, P., Amar, A.D., Liu, J., & Jain, R.P. (December 21, 2018). “ Spirituality and Management.” Panel Moderator: Satinder Dhiman: 11th World Confluence of Humanity, Power, and Spirituality. Kolkata, December 21-22, 2018.
  • Dhiman, S., Chishty, S. S., Behen, U. B. K., & Kanan, B.K. (Dec. 21, 2018). “Spirituality, Innovation, and Humanity”. Panel Moderator: Satinder Dhiman: 11th World Confluence of Humanity, Power and Spirituality. Kolkata, December 21-22, 2018.
  • Dhiman, S., Kohli, A., Sherawat, M. K., & Goswami, S. (Dec. 22, 2018).“Spirituality for Business”. Panel Moderator: Satinder Dhiman: 11th World Confluence of Humanity, Power and Spirituality. Kolkata, December 21-22, 2018.
