- “Peace of mind leads a long way,” says Meghna. But how many of us are actually closer to achieve it? Very few! Leadership lessons from the Gita talk about having peace of mind, serenity within. For example, if a boss shouts at her or his employees that is sure to impact their productivity negatively.
