Synopsis

An indispensable book for all professionals, Sing, Dance and Lead is an intervention at the intersection of management theory and theological pedagogy, and bridges the worlds of building managers and inspiring devotees. It considers how you can view the act of working, what 'service' really means and how loyalty to an organization can be extended to bring into conception a deeper commitment to the divine.

Srila Prabhupada had a journey like no other--he spent most of his life in relative obscurity but then, at the age when most people seek retirement, travelled through an arduous ocean-crossing to create a global movement in a country that was alien to him, which became the base for a worldwide institution that spread to 100 temples in merely a decade. Working with novices or hippies from the anti-Vietnam War movement, Srila Prabhupada created a devoted tribe of Krishna worshippers, who renounced all forms of intoxication and substance abuse, even tea and coffee, embraced vegetarian food as well as chastity outside marriage to create a spiritual movement like no other.
