Abstract

This paper presents the holistic leadership from the Mahabharata demonstrated by the women characters. The authors employed hermeneutics, which is a qualitative approach in analysing the characters from the Mahabharata. Twelve women characters have been selected and analysed from a holistic leadership perspective. The 12 women characters played a significant and vital role in many situations and influenced the process and the outcome of the events in the Mahabharata. The holistic leadership roles played by these women characters have a great significance to leadership theory and practice in today's world. The findings reveal that these women characters leadership approach is an inside-out rather than outside-in as they demonstrated emotional, mental, strength in dealing with any crisis, and they effectively changed the conventional image of a woman. This paper is expected to provide a framework for more research of underrated women characters from the Mahabharata within leadership and management.
