CMA Organised an Interactive Session on ‘Skills and Traits of Eminent Leaders’

Chandigarh Management Association (CMA) organised an interactive session on ‘Skills and Traits of Eminent Leaders’ at Bharatiya Vidhya Bhavan. Prof. Satinder Dhiman, Associate Dean, School of Business, at Woodbury University, Burbank, California was the main speaker. While speaking on the occasion, Dhiman said that true leaders are the people who have moved from darkness to light with perfect practice of enriching their minds.

Prof. Dhiman, recipient of 2004 Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) award (the first Indian to ever win this award), said that eminent leaders are led by pure motivation of serving humanity without any self-interest attached and they possess the skills of assimilating knowledge from day to day incidents of life and by interacting with other knowledgeable people.

Dhiman, co-edited a book on "Spirituality in the Workplace” (Personhood Press, 2008). He drew many references from Ramayana, Mahabartha, Gurbani, and recited couplets of Kabir and Rahim to convey the traits of great saints and leaders and said that leaders are embodiment of generosity and forgiveness and they don’t harm any human being with their speech or action, which, he added are ruefully absent from present day leaders.

Prof. Dhiman said that he is pained to see people who have been given the opportunity to serve humanity are only seeking fulfilment of their own self-interest and are ungrateful to very people who provided them the opportunity. They are stingy in returning the generosity, he lamented.

Others who spoke on the occasion were Dr. P.K.Vasudeva and Prof. N.K.Sharma. Mrs. Indu Sharma, convenor women wing of CMA while concluding the session described Prof. Stainder Dhiman, as an Indian pearl, who has enriched the American students by instilling Indian culture and spirituality in their education system. Dr. Gulshan Sharma, President CMA, welcomed Prof. Dhiman through Video-conferencing.
