Ideology of Mahatma Gandhi on Peace, Compassion and Nonviolence
Speaker: Smt Shobhana Radhakrishnan, Gandhian Forum for Good Corporate Governance
There are few among the 20th century leaders who can measure up to the standards set by Mahatma Gandhi in the practice of ethical leadership. Mahatma Gandhi proved that moral and ethical behavior is inexorably linked to the sincere understanding and practice of the philosophy of truth, nonviolence, compassion and purity of means. The value based leadership espoused by Mahatma Gandhi in public life is a perfect model to be emulated in all spheres of life. Mahatma Gandhi was the conscience keeper of our country and he can inspire us all at all times and in every age through is ethical leadership practices
