Abstract

Many articles and research papers have discussed servant leadership around ethical, spiritual, and value-based philosophy. This chapter aims to identify and present the idea of servant leadership based on the teachings of the Gita, specifically using the principles of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas Guna. In the Mahabharata, Krishna, the teacher and guide, became a servant of Arjuna (the charioteer) and taught him the importance of doing his duty as a leader of the Pandava army with devotion and awareness for the welfare of the society. The Triguna principles provide a basis for understanding a leader’s true nature and develop a model of identifying servant leadership in all the areas of profession whether oriented by knowledge, power, wealth, and skill.
