Business executives are going back to school on the ancient spiritual wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, which stresses purpose over self. This should come as a relief to those leaders lacking the swagger of a Lou Gerstner.

Knowing who you are, sharing important touchstones in your career and life without theatrics, and stimulating an organization-wide conversation about the organization’s purpose are increasingly seen by top execs as the path to business strength and resilience.
