Abstract
This paper explores leadership psychology through the lens of Bhishma’s counsel to Yudhishthira in the Shanti Parva of the Mahabharata. The verses emphasize dharma (righteousness), truthfulness, emotional regulation, and ethical governance as foundational principles for leadership. The study correlates these ancient insights with modern leadership theories and real-world examples.
