It provides several examples: 1) Vyasa depicts the qualities of a good leader as being able to consider all people as equal and show no preferences. This leads to a society where citizens can freely express themselves. 2) Narayanamurthy cites seeking respect from all stakeholders as the key to Infosys' success. By doing right by others, everything falls into place. 3) A study found that having a sense of personal purpose and meaning in one's work leads to greater organization commitment, satisfaction, and self-esteem. 4) Dr. Kalam said we should give wings to the divine fire within us to

    The Application of Values

    Relevance of Values in Management:


    In Mahabharata, Veda Vyasa depicts the qualities of an individual who leads
    others as well as the kingdom. Vyasa uses the word Sarvabhutasaman when
    referring to such a leader; suggesting that a leader should consider all as one,
    have equal respect for all, and show no preferences amongst people. Such a
    leader appreciates and acknowledges the state of unity in diversity.
    The institutionalisation of such leadership gives rise to a society where common
    citizens are able to express their opinion without fear and prejudice.

    Mr. Narayanamurthy, founder and chief mentor, Infosys technologies on the


    secret of Infosys success:
    Let me say this, right from day one, when we founded the company, when we
    sat for four hours to discuss what we should seek in this journey, we were all
    unanimous that we would seek respect. We would seek respect from customers,
    from our employees, from our investors, from our lender departments, from the
    government and from the society. And we said, if we seek respect from each of
    these stakeholders, we will do the right thing for them. And if we do the right
    thing for them, then everything will fall into place. And that is perhaps the
    reason we have had what little success we have had so for.

    In a study it was found that greater the experience of personal purpose and
    meaning in one’s work,
     the greater the organization commitment of the individual
     the lesser the intention of the intention to quit the organization
     the greater the intrinsic work satisfaction of the individual
     the greater the job involvement of the individual
     the greater the organisation-based self- esteem of the individual
    Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam has said in this autobiography, Wings of Fire, ‘we are all
    born with a diving fire in us. Our efforts should be to give wings to this fire and
    fill the world with the glow of its goodness’. If we are aware that there is a divine
    fire within us, then we will be aware of our personal goals. If we are aware of
    our personal values, then we will be committed to our work.

    How Values Help Stakeholders:


    An Organisation’s behaviour is a manifestation of its real values. Nilofer
    Merchant, founder president of Rubicon Consultants, a US marketing consulting
    firm, speaks about the importance of nourishing the roots ( values) so that what
    appears outside ( behaviour) is also nourished. We see the branches and leaves
    and not the root system. So I think spirituality is about defining where our true
    strength comes from as the root system. The company driven by values benefits
    its internal customers and external customers.

    Jack Hawley, author of Reawakening the Spirit in Work: The Power of Dharmic
    Management speaks about 9 qualities that a modern leader should have:
    1. Sense maker – the purpose and meaning of the business
    2. Moral architect – the leader character
    3. Steward – the leader if the steward of the organization’s values
    4. Leadership yogi – peace of mind – determined action
    5. Servant – principle of giving – the one who creates the overall aura of
    helpfulness.
    6. Spiritual guide – organization’s energy, heart and spirit
    7. Whole maker – organization culture , its basic personality –overall sense
    of unity
    8. Optimist – contributes to overall mood of cheerful optimism
    9. Spiritual warrior – fosters self confidence – overall air of conviction and
    assurance
