"Good leadership is not just a matter of making things happen; it is a matter of making essential things happen, making important and productive things happen, and helping people feel good about what is happening. Leaders need to have a vision, but they also need to know how to convince others that their vision can manifest, and how to empower them to participate in the mission of bringing the vision about." - Leadership for an Age of Higher Consciousness, vol. 2

"His Holiness B.T. Swami is one of those rare individuals who truly understands the essence of Leadership. I have been greatly impressed by his humility and enthusiasm. He has had a major influence on world leaders from the political arena to the business community. With the events of September 11, 2001 greatly impacting people's lives, B.T. Swami's weaving of spirituality, service and leadership into one cocoon is extremely timely. His message is truly profound and universal."

"As much as his words inform, his example of living according to the highest standards of the Vedic tradition and in a constant attitude of listening for the Divine guidance convey even more. Thus, you will feel a long-abiding faith in his words, as well as wisdom, and perhaps even the personal purity that allows him to raise the bar of leadership to truly spiritual heights. It is from such heights that visionary leadership is able to see the greatest expanse of human nature and its potentials, to guide it, not just for the upcoming fiscal year, but for generations into the future. In focusing upon "higher consciousness," His Holiness B.T. Swami offers us a vision beyond materialistic competitiveness into the spiritual wholeness of existence. Thus, organizations following these ways can get beyond the harsh and limited modes of competitive functioning into the highly rewarding synergies of ever-greater cooperation and even world-embracing productivity and love. Here the bottom-line ascends to spiritual heights. Here, truly, awaits the best possible future for our newly emerging global marketplace and world culture, if we can find leaders capable of implementing such a vision."

"Rather than being truly value-based organizations, too many firms today are toxic to the human spirit. Such management causes lack of synergy, lack of loyalty, demotivation and alienation. His Holiness B.T. Swami, in routinely traveling to dozens of countries each year giving seminars and workshops is surely doing his part in the international arena to help leaders and organizations become more hospitable to the human spirit. He is a personal mentor of mine and I am always glad when he is back in the U.S. to speak with my colleagues and to share his new books."

"Over the years one of the most powerful things I have taken away from being a student in His Holiness B.T. Swami Krishnapada's classroom has been his passionate belief in living one's life and leading others from a position of love. His profound, inspiring and simple direction of living and working each day from a position of love, from a higher spiritual consciousness has been a powerful beam of light guiding me in my daily life and influencing how I try to teach others to lead. I have always believed and taught that great leaders are simply tool-givers-they provide the tools for others to be successful. Leadership for an Age of Higher Consciousness, Volume II is one of the tools that we can use to succeed as genuine leaders. B.T. Swami is a fantastic tool-giver! The ancient sages of India would be proud of his work and how he has captured their thoughts and lessons for the modern leader."

"On several occasions going back to the 1980's I was invited by one of our Directors, Pierre Adossama, to sit in as His Holiness B.T. Swami shared his insights on world-order problems with me and some of my colleagues at the U.N. in Geneva. On one return visit, after he had met with the President of Zambia (who was then the Chairman of the O.A.U.), the Presidents of Botswana, Sierre Leone, Liberia and Ghana it became clear in my mind how he expertly lives what he writes in all his books. As you study and apply especially his teaching in his Leadership for an Age of Higher Consciousness volumes you will also be given the tools to play your part in raising global consciousness."

"His Holiness B.T. Swami, whether appearing on television, giving seminars and workshops to national and international organizations or meeting with Diplomats and Presidents of countries, his message is always profound and universal. He wants us to know that the greatest problems in the world are due to a crisis in leadership and we all can do something about it. This book is most timely now, while there is a rising interest in principle-centered leadership, servant-leadership and bringing spirituality into the workplace. I want to encourage the Swami to keep offering such wisdom to the international community, but most important I want to encourage those who want to lead with higher consciousness to devour this book."
