Even as the Tatas and Mittals take corporate India to the global stage, the country’s unique brand of management and leadership skills, with a human touch, continues to attract the world to the Indian shores.
Ko Miyataki and Glenn Miyataki, a Japanese couple from the US island-state of Hawaii, are only the latest to feel the pull of this magnet.
The couple is here to attend a session on 'Leadership and Human Values — Discover Your Leadership Signature' programme, being organised by Indian Institute of Management-Lucknow professor Debashis Chatterjee at the IIM campus. The three-day seminar began on Monday.
Glenn, earlier engaged with the University of Hawaii and the Fujitsu Company, is now into consultancy business, while wife Ko is a medical rehabilitation expert associated with a Hawaiian hospital.
The two say they are here to attend the session for a better understanding of the complexities of modern world.
"This is a complex world but I have seen some basic values in human beings that keep coming back to us," Glenn says.
"The clashes (of interest) take place when a leader overlooks those basic values.
"This leadership programme based on human values will hopefully enhance our understanding of those basic values."
The Miyatakis are not alone. Southeast Asian entrepreneur Duanae Kurisu has come from Honolulu to attend the programme. Besides, many bankers and corporate bigwigs from different parts of the country have gathered at IIM-Lucknow for the session on leadership skills.
On the seminar's first day, Swami Muktinathanand, Chief Executive Officer of Ram Krishna Math, talked about Swami Vivekanand’s teachings that focus on a spiritual law for every human being to reach a state of absolute knowledge, absolute existence and absolute bliss.
The session also had the participants meditating with Muktinathanand.
The programme was started over a decade ago by then IIM-Lucknow director S Chakravorty and Dedashis Chatterjee.
