A Higher Standard of Leadership

Through illustrative examples from Ghandi's life and writings, author Keshavan Nair identifies commitments to conscience, openness, service, values and reduced personal attachments-and describes the courage and determination necessary to work and lead by them. He explores the process of making decisions, setting goals and implementing actions in the spirit of service that is essential to the realisation of a higher standard of leadership in our workplaces and communitites.

He was a corporate executive and served on the faculties of Ohio State University and the Indian Institute of Technology in Kampur, India. Nair passed away in 2002.
