| Summary: | The need for mainstreaming inputs from literature, poetry and music in MBA curriculum and corporate training modules arises from the acute inadequacy to deal with the complexity, uncertainty, ambiguity and turbulence in the business scenario today. The art of managing people is not just a matter of deployment of a set of skills or use of stereotyped formulae but awakening and unleashing our creative potential energy in its deepest and widest sense. In the twentieth century Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel Laurate poet from India, was a strong and living proponent of holistic education for overall human development. He translated his vision into reality by founding his university in the lap of Nature far from the humdrum of the metropolis of Calcutta where he himself had nightmarish experiences of attending schools in his childhood. The life, insights and works of Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel Laurate poet from India, and his experiments on education have become increasingly relevant for management education to come out of dehumanizing capitalistic influence. |
