Ashoka Sutra

Overview
Introduction

Introduction

Whether we like it or not, we all have to live our life there at some point in time. Everybody has some innate capacity for leadership. The leader within us only emerges when the moment and circumstance are right.

In honor of Chakravartin Samrat Ashoka, one of the greatest Indian emperors, the Ashoka Sutras is a dynamic leadership development program for anyone looking to discover their inner leader or advance their leadership skills.

The Ashoka Sutras emphasize the psychology of the four core qualities of leadership: significance, property, rules, and stability. These four aspects are the centre of the book. A detailed examination and comprehension of the fundamentals of leadership psychology is covered in a 15-hour session.

Course Features

Significance

  • Every person wants to believe that they are important. This value is provided by social structures in the form of laws and property.

  • This value enables us to satisfy our primal want to rule, making us feel strong and secure. Social structures, sadly, are not enduring. Because every change can make us helpless, we look for stability.

  • 10 Sutras of Significance.

Properties

  • A concept created by, with, and for humans is property. Property gives a man value since most people believe that we are defined by our possessions, which are intangible and unrelated to who we are.

  • Even if we pass away, what we have might endure. We so have the illusion of immortality thanks to property.

  • 10 Sutras of Significance.

Rules

  • Any group of rules constitutes an organization. Rules enable mankind to triumph over the primal maxim that “might makes right.” Humans and animals are governed by rules.
 
  • However, the human-animal can employ rules to exert dominance and solidify his place as the leader. The human-animal can also appear to obey the rules, to be obedient, or to rebel when the chance arises. The rules are the subject of much more activity. For when we must abide by someone else’s rules, life becomes labor.
 
  • 12 Sutras of Rules.

Stability

  • Nature is evolving. Both the market and human needs are evolving. Old technology and tools are being replaced by new ones.
 
  • Some people prefer the status quo, which is stability, certainty, and predictability. Others want their status quo to shift through revolution and transformation. Stability brings tranquilly, monotony, and stagnation. Change is stressful, exciting, and growth-promoting.
 
  • 12 Sutras of Stability.

This program seeks to develop an “Ashoka”-type leader. All of Ashoka’s subjects in his kingdom seek rank, a position, and responsibility in order to feel significant and worthy.

  • The tangible and quantifiable assets (property, talent, and abilities) that a person possesses are what give them value.
  • He/she likes laws because they keep society from becoming a lawless jungle where might makes right.
  • In a world of certainty and predictability, he or she desires stability.
