Abstract
Abstract: Leadership is an idea that transcends recorded history. Various historical, social, and cultural factors have shaped how leadership is understood and practiced across different cultures. Leadership is seen through a fresh lens by the Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) in India, a nation rich in history and culture. This article delves into the complex web of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) and how they relate to different types of leadership. Examining the interdependent nature of ancient Indian knowledge and modern leadership models, this study compares and contrasts several leadership paradigms. We want to provide a thorough comprehension of how IKS may guide and improve leadership practices in many settings by referencing historical writings, contemporary understandings, and academic literature.
