Abstract: In view of the complexity of the environment today, there is a need to reassess the leadership skills desired from modern managers, as relying on usual leadership development theories may not be enough. Exploring leadership principles from the age old, time-tested Indian values might prove to be an important solution. The present study attempts to identify a newer leadership development way through ancient Indian values of Bhagvad Gita for addressing leadership challenges in front of today's managers. It adds to the earlier works in this area by identifying and describing the most significant leadership skills based on principles of Bhagvad Gita for developing leadership competence of modern managers through 'hermeneutics' methodology and an empirical testing support. The main contribution of the study is the proposed leadership skills development framework which will add value to the current leadership development initiatives of the organisations and help developing leadership competencies in a sustainable way.
