Management is Not a Headache, Mismanagement is
It’s mismanagement which creates many problems in ISKCON today. Management itself is not bad. But we all are giving “mismanagement” the name “management” and trying to run away from it without understanding proper management. Srila Prabhupada emphasized in his last moments that along with proper spiritual standards, ISKCON will last forever if we are organized and use our intelligence wisely. How can leaders and managers in ISKCON do proper management which benefits ISKCON?
