Abstract

Buddhist principles play a vital role in empowering individuals to achieve success in their work and improve its quality. Continuous learning, perseverance, and resilience in the face of challenges are essential traits for effective leadership.

These principles serve as key indicators of effective leadership, regardless of how they are expressed. In this context, Buddhist principles refer to the virtues that underpin ethical and moral leadership. A virtuous leader is capable of guiding and managing a team or organization toward growth and prosperity. Leadership involves unique traits that maximize the benefits for the organization under their care. Leaders can adapt their roles and actions in alignment with Buddhist principles, which offer flexible but foundational guidance.
