Speaking on the occasion, M Rammohan Rao, Dean, ISB said, “The ISB lays great emphasis on Thought Leadership, which is the key to effective leadership. To become a thought leader, one must be able to first master the inner thought process. I believe that Inner Management can refine the thought processes of our students and make them effective in managing themselves and the people they work with. Transforming the way they think will not only change the way business is conducted but also the way society will evolve in the future.”

Management education today is absorbing new trends from different cultures and B-Schools across the world are imbibing best practices in their curriculum. In keeping with this, the ISB has initiated this special session on Inner Management. Managing the self and becoming a successful individual is the first step towards aspiring to become a successful business leader.

“The fundamental goal of all activity on the planet is human well-being. There is only one business on the planet that is human well-being. And that is my business, too”, said Sadhguru. “Fundamentally, life is management. The quality of your life depends on how well you manage your body, your mind, your emotions, your situations, your life in general and the world. So if this kind of management has to happen, that just in managing a business, you and the people around you rise to their peak, then you have to spend a certain amount of time in focusing on your inner management.”

Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev’s scientific methods for self-transformation are both direct and powerful, marking a clear departure from mere customs and rituals. Belonging to no particular tradition, he incorporates and presents what is most valid for the contemporary life from the yogic sciences and bridges the gap between the known and the unknown, enabling all to explore and experience the deepest dimensions of life.

Sadhguru has been participating at many global forums such as the World Economic Forum, the Tallberg Forum in Sweden, and the Australian Leadership Retreat and speaks on issues ranging from diplomacy and economic development, to education and the environment. He has also served as delegate to the United Nations Millennium Peace Summit and the World Peace Congress.
