Leadership roles always complements managers
Actually it is very important to know that every person should have a good leadership role in his/her life. It is well known fact that every should have three quotient :
1) Intelligent Quotient
2) Emotional Quotient
3) Spiritual Quotient
BEFORE DESCRIBING THESE TERM I WANT TO SAY ABOUT
Stress management
Today in the modern world it is very important to handle stress at each and every level. You should know about USA and others who believes in MEDITATION. In America, many companies are having regular courses in stress management. A Chicago-based research corporation says that 40 per cent of companies are having regular such courses. But the Western models of stress management are not working, Western psychologists say that unexpressed or
suppressed feelings in the subconscious mind lead to stress problems. So they advise their clients to give vent to their feelings. But the problem is that venting will make one lose his or her job. So what is the Western remedy? Punching pins. These are available in the market. Blue pins for injury, black pins for serious injury and red pins for murder! If one is upset about the unjustified thrashings of the boss, then the cruel boss can be playfully murdered with the help of red pins! Of course, these offer temporary help. But next morning you face your boss again and you encounter the same problem. That is why they are now leaning towards spirituality and
holistic management.
The Time magazine in its issue of 4 August 2003 displayed on cover a Hollywood actress in meditation. The cover story was—‘Just Say Om’. It was reported in the story that ten billion Americans were regularly meditating. One cannot avoid meditation in America now. In the corporate houses, industries, boardrooms, classrooms, prisons, airports, railway platforms —everywhere there are meditation chambers. In 2004 I went to Europe and at Zurich airport
I saw a sign indicating the way to the meditation chamber and, I must admit, it was beautiful. So they are now going for spiritual management to cope with stress problems.
Modern science has proved that for success IQ or intelligence quotient is not enough. In 1991 Daniel Wallman made a research and said EQ or emotional quotient is more important than IQ. They say, empathy, sympathy, understanding of others and the right-brain education, all these are important if you really want to be a successful person in the long run. The latest discovery
of modern science is SQ or spiritual quotient.
Dona Zoha, a Professor in the Oxford University, has written a book where she writes about spiritual intelligence or SQ. She says, neurologically, physiologically, biologically and psychologically, from every point of view there is conclusive evidence that there is something called SQ which is the basis of both IQ and EQ.
What is IQ? IQ will tell you how to play the game of life. What is EQ? EQ will tell you how to play the game of life in changed circumstances with changed strategies.
What is SQ?
Spiritual intelligence. It will tell you whether to play the game of life at all or not. What is the meaning of life? What is the goal of life? What is the basic purpose of life? SQ will give you an SPIRITUALITY IN MANAGEMENT 2009 Bulletin of the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture 325 answers to all these questions.
Another discovery is that IQ is found in all the species, including computer chips!
What is EQ?
EQ is found only in a few species. But SQ is found only in the human species. Now the main question is, how to develop SQ. A number of books are being written to show how this spiritual intelligence can be awakened. But the most comprehensive definition, I think, is one given
by Swami Vivekananda in his book Ràja- Yoga. There he says: ‘Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this Divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy— by one, or more, or all of these—and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or
temples, or forms, are but secondary details’. Any of the four yogas—Ràja-Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, Jnàna-Yoga and Karma- Yoga—can independently lead you to the ultimate realization of God, or help in the manifestation of divinity, leading you to infinite happiness, infinite peace. But the
question is—which path will you choose? That depends upon your mental aptitude or level of mental development. Swamiji was also asked this question: What do you do, Swamiji? He said that he combined all the four. Romain Rolland said that Swami Vivekananda rode on all the four horses simultaneously. Why? Swamiji gives the solution. He says that all the yogas have certain
limitations. But these limitations are overcome when you combine all the four and reap their advantages.
In the field of management
we want maximum utilization of resources available. In the same way, we have got resources.
We have hands. Why should we not work with our hands for the Lord? If we do, it is Karma-Yoga. We also have mind. Why not meditate with the help of the mind? When we do, it is Ràja-Yoga, ie meditation. Then we have a heart to feel, to feel for others, to give love, to receive love. So love the Lord, love the Infinite, love the Ultimate. That is Bhakti-Yoga. We also have intellect by which we can know what the reality is. When you think about the ultimate Reality, that is Jnàna-Yoga. Hence, Swami Vivekananda asks us to combine all four yogas for the maximum utilization of all our faculties. So practise all the four yogas simultaneously. The combination of course depends on one’s attitude. For example, some would like to give more weightage to Ràja-Yoga, or to Karma-Yoga, and likewise. The combination of four integral yogas would thus lead us to the ultimate Reality. Now so many management experts are preaching this. Swami Vivekananda’s message for the new age is that there should henceforth be no difference between ‘sacred’ and ‘secular’.
The workplace, the factories, business houses, market places, will all become places of worship. Work will thus be converted into worship. You need not necessarily go to temple, church or a mosque. You need not go to the Himalayas or the forest. Wherever you are, whatever work
has been given to you by the Lord, doing that work in the spirit of worship you can reach the ultimate Reality and attain ultimate happiness, peace, infinite joy, infinite bliss here and now.
