"The Impact of Indian Psychology on Leadership Development: A Study of the Relationship between Self-Awareness and Leadership Effectiveness"

Abstract

Psychology, as a scientific discipline, explores the intricacies of human behavior, cognition, and emotions. While modern psychology has its roots in Western thought, the Indian knowledge system (IKS) has contributed significantly to psychological understanding through ancient scriptures, philosophies, and practices. This paper delves into the contributions of psychology within the IKS, tracing its historical evolution, philosophical foundations, and practical applications. By integrating traditional Indian perspectives with contemporary psychological thought, the paper highlights the unique insights offered by the Indian tradition in understanding the human mind and behavior.
