Integrating Buddhism's wisdom to Leadership


According to the Dalai Lama, leaders should respect three values in their decision making:
  • Dependent origination: The law of cause and effect or action and consequences. Competent leaders should think deeply and holistically about consequences of their decisions before making actual decisions.
  • Interdependence: All our actions and decisions have effects on ourselves and on others.
  • Impermanence: This concept is sometimes referred to as "emptiness". It means that things keep changing. This belief helps all leaders not to become victims of adherence to ideas, profits, losses, etc.
From the book "The Leader's Way: The Art of Making the Right Decisions in Our Careers, Our Companies, and the World at Large
