E05: Subramanian Chidambaram - Expert on Indic Perspectives in Leadership Studies (Ex-McKinsey)

Subramanian Chidambaram's profile: linkedin.com/in/subramanianchidambaran https://www.youtube.com/user/bcsubbu Idea about Indian philosophy is that it’s highly esoteric. Does traditional indic wisdom have any relevance for modern management? Why is going deeper in indic wisdom considered by many as a challenge in corporate growth? Is that really the case? Leadership can be divided into two parts - leading oneself and leading others. What does Indian philosophy have to tell us about effectively leading others? "Thinking brain is the supporting character who imagines it's the hero". How do you ensure that you keep emotions in check and avoid laziness, procrastination, impulsiveness etc.? How do we avoid nihilism - the idea that nothing matters. Pleasure for the sake of pleasure, success for the sake of success without answering the broader why? There is always a perceived friction between science and religion - being someone of scientific temperament, how do you reconcile both?
