Dec. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- December 7, 2011, NEW DELHI- ‘Tiger’ Tyagarajan , President and CEO, Genpact; Atul Punj , Chairman & Founder of PunjLloyd; Deep Kalra , Founder and CEO, MakeMyTrip.com came together to launch Rashmi Datt’s And The Lion Smiled at the Rabbit : Manage Emotions to Win at The Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi, yesterday.
Commenting on the occasion, Shobit Arya , founder & publisher of Wisdom Tree said, "The realisation of the importance of managing emotions at the leadership level is well appreciated and documented. This book is pioneering as it addresses the issue from the perspective of managers in the formative stages of their career. It’s a winner.”                
Rashmi Datt elaborated on the idea behind the book, “When we are under stress, or in situations which make us uncomfortable, we fly off into in a fight or flight mode. It could be conflict on the road, at work or at home. However this doesn’t help us move towards our goals. The message of the book is pause, reflect and respond. Instead of reacting thoughtlessly and impulsively, we can choose to respond consciously and deliberately.”
What caused the downfall of the mighty lion at the hands of a mere rabbit in the much loved story from Panchatantra? The Rabbit’s cleverness? Or was it the lion’s lack of control over his emotions? What if the lion didn’t let his pride get the better of him? What if the lion’s reaction was more self-assured?
Using the age-old craft of storytelling, this evocative and thought-provoking book weaves together modern management theory and practices with the folklore of the Panchatantra and wisdom of Indian philosophy. It gives a fresh perspective with simple and clear solutions to the nagging issues that young professionals face on a daily basis, be it hard negotiations, office politics or never-ending deadlines. Read it so that the lion in you always rules like a king.

“A refreshingly fresh look at how emotions come into play at the workplace as a leader, team player and peer.”
—   'Tiger' Tyagarajan, President and CEO, Genpact
    “This enjoyable read of hard-hitting messages from the corporate trenches enables you to learn a lot.”
—Deep Kalra, Founder and CEO, MakeMyTrip.com
    “This book reminds us how our energies affect those we interact with constantly.  Very engaging reading!!”
—Atul Punj, Chairman & Founder, Punj Lloyd
