Saraswati is the goddess of\n knowledge in Hinduism, as well as in Buddhism and Jainism. Her name is\n derived from the fluidity (saras) of the imagination. Human imagination\n enables us to invent and innovate, visualize, plan and de-risk. Yet\n imagination is a bad word in the world of business and management. It strips\n us of certainty. We want to control the imagination of those who work for us,\n prevent their minds from wandering from work. Yet every human being lives in\n an imagined reality. Recognizing this enables us to work with talent, build\n strong relationships and nurture people to face any situation with faith and\n patience. Failure to recognize imagination is why family-owned businesses are\n unable to manage professionals and how professionally- run companies end up\n creating ineffective, mechanistic talent management systems. Training,\n learning and development, are not just about skills and knowledge and\n competencies, they are about appreciating the human-animal, recognizing that\n neither we nor those around us are programmable machines that we can plug and\n play. Managing people, hence relationships, is key to the survival of an\n organization. Derived from Devdutt Pattanaik?s influential bestseller\n Business Sutra, this book explores concepts like creativity in the workplace,\n nurturing talent and the importance of teamwork. It will help employers and\n managers become more inclusive leaders who are able to carry their team along\n with them.
