Strategic Alignment of Personal and Organizational Vision and Values: A Vedic Perspective
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper focuses on the alignment of personal with organization vision and values, taking a Vedic perspective, which is a strategic perspective for suitable organizational development. This perspective enables us to dip into ancient Hindu philosophical text to learn about the alignment of the “True Self Within” – the atman with God. With this spiritual orientation the basis of alignment is explored through two key concepts of sacrifice and duty, whereby alignment is likely to lead to inner harmony between the Atman and God, whereas misalignment naturally leads to emotional and material discomfort.Breif use is made of the dialogue between Arjuna a warrior and Lord Krishna, his mentor, taken from the Bhagavad-Gita, to illustrate how one might overcome emotional turmoil when faced with an inner conflict between duty and responsibility.The discussion attempts to bring back the journey through a small slice of the Vedas to modern management and puts forward the suggestion that leaders and managers should construe the search for meaning at both a personal and Organizational level if they are to find alignment and success.
