Twenty-five scholars and practitioners from Europe and India have contributed to the book “Ethical Leadership: Indian and European Spiritual Approaches” edited by Madhumita Chatterji and Laszlo Zsolnai. The book was published in 2016 by Palgrave Macmillan in London.
The book addresses issues of human values, ethics, spirituality, and leadership in business.
