From the time I started writing this book I have come to see it as personal (16) to an outstanding fellow Indian, whose (17) and compassion have often moved me. Insight, not objectivity, is the key to understanding of a life as multi layered as that of swami Vivekanand and in the (18) of writing this book. I have often felt (19) by the realization that a historian may not always be a good biographer. I have also been (20) by the several inconsistencies and (21) of vivekanand’s life, and only by bringing these out more sharply, I felt, could one consciously(22) from the hagiography that (23) biographical work on him. It is impossible to reach an understanding of a personality as complex as vivekananda’s without studying his ambiguities and shigting (24) on various issues. In trying to integrate these in a (25) assessment of Vivekananda, I have largely gone by what the swami has himself suggested—judge a man ultimately by his strengths, not his weaknesses.

Management is a set of processes that can keep a complicated system of people and technology running smoothly. The most important aspects of management include planning, budgeting, organizing, staffing, controlling and problem solving. Leadership is a set of processes that creates organizations in the first place or adapt them to significantly changing circumstances. Ledarership defines what the future should look like, aligns people with that vision and inspires them to make it happen despite the obstacles. This distinction is absolutely crucial for our purposes here. Successful transformation is 70 to 90 percent ledarership and only 10 to 30 percent management. Yet for historical reasons, many organizations today don’t have much leadership. And almost everyone thinks about the problem here as one of manging change.

For most of this century, as we created thousands and thousands of large organizations for the first time in human history, we didn’’t have enough good managers to keep all those bureaucracies functioning. So many companies and universities developed management programs, and hundreds and thousands of people were encouraged to learn management on the job. And they did. But, people were taught little about leadership. To some degree, management was empahasized because it’s easier to teach than leadership. But even more so, management was the main item on the twentieth century agenda because that’s what was needed. For every entrepreneur or business builder who was a leader, we needed hundreds pf mangers to run their ever-growing enterprises.

Unfortunately for us today, this emphasis on management has often been instituionalised in corporate cultures that discourage employees from learning how to lead. Ironically, past success is usually the key ingredients in producing this outcome. The syndrome, as I have observed it on many occasions, goes like this: success creates some degree of market dominance. Which in turn produces msch growth. After a while keeping the ever-larger organization under control becomes the primary challenge. So attention turns inward, and managerial competencies are nurtured. With a strong emphasis on management but not leadership, bureaucracy and an inward focus take over. But with continued success, the result mostly of market dominance, the problem often goes unaddressed and an unhealthy arrogance begins to evolve. All of these characteristics then make any transformation effort much more difficult.

Actually, everyday we all engage in this business of ‘reading’people. We do it (61) we want to figure others out. So we (62) make guesses about what others think, value, want and feel and we do so based on our (63) beliefs and understanding about human nature. We do so because if we can figure out (64) and intentions of others the possibility of them (65) or hurting us, (66) and this will help us to (67) a lot of unnecessary pain and trouble. We also make second-guesses about what they will do in future, how they will (68) if we make this or that response. We do all this second guessing based upon our (69) of what we believe about the person’s inner nature (70) his or her roles and manners. We mind-read their (71)motives.
