Download Two Birds in a Tree: Timeless Indian Wisdom for Business Leaders AudioBook Free
Looking back to the ancient knowledge of the Indian scripture, the Upanishads, Memory Nidumolu sees the core viewpoint of sustainable command that's needed today. In this remarkable reserve, he uses a powerful parable from these scriptures to create a business vision our world frantically needs."There are two wild birds, two great friends, who dwell in theselfsame tree," says the Upanishads. The first parrot, dwelling on the low area of the tree, lives "in sorrow and stress and anxiety." Unable to see beyond the branches, it hops around compulsively indulging its appetites, eating every super fruit, great and sour. The other parrot, higher up, can easily see the whole tree and the wider world - this perspective puts it touching its innate sense to be, the quality of existence it shares in common with all other living beings and the natural world. Content, it "looks on in compassionate silence" at the other parrot. Memory Nidumolu's provocative reserve on business command uses this allegory from Indian scripture to highlight why many businesses are distrusted by the general public and donate to interpersonal ills like environmental damage, wealth inequality, and weather change: they mimic the parrot on the low branch. But can business, compassion, and stewardship really coexist? Ram's amazing insight is to hearken back to the earliest Indian philosophical texts to reclaim their lessons for performing in accordance with our link with Being. He describes a four-part construction for what he calling "being-centered command" and offers examples of this type of leadership doing his thing, from companies such as Harley Davidson, Timberland, Puma, Pepsi, and many others. It really is time, he creates, to "look up from our rickety perch on the low branch of a storm-tossed tree and get started the trip to the higher branch."
