Abstract

Literary writings have a significant space in the arena of academic disciplines. No doubt, while these writings are a common, ordinary reader’s delight, they also serve as beacons to a discerning scholar/researcher who wants to explore yet another horizon of truth. As such, with its wider dimensions and its implication in other related fields, literature serves as a powerful tool for academic exploration in other areas of study. The various theories of leadership and other scientific studies on modern management which are being practised in the modern times are deeply rooted in and influenced by all those creative writings of the past. This chapter intends to identify the literary texts as a reliable source of knowledge on positive leadership. It would be profitable venture, and academically trustworthy too, to excavate and re-examine the literature that was written thousands of years ago. It develops new criteria of learning various aspects of the positive, spiritual and servant leadership through literary texts like the Rāmāyanā and the Śrīmad Bhagavad Gītā, and also enriches the field of leadership through the theoretical understanding of creative writings.
