Driving the IDG Leadership Network in Thailand: An Analytical Study and Recommendations of Phramaha Maghavin Purisuttamo

Abstract

            This academic article aimed to analyze the approaches to driving the Inner Development Goals (IDG) leadership network in Thailand from the perspective of Phrakru Palat Suwatthanavisutthisankhun (Phramaha Maghavin Purisuttamo, Asst. Prof. Dr.). It connected the global IDG framework with the Four Bhavanas in Buddhism through philosophical analysis and the synthesis of relevant documents. The analysis revealed that advancing the IDG leadership network in Thailand required integrating the global framework with Buddhist wisdom to create a balance of body, mind, morality, and wisdom. Structural recommendations were also presented, including the establishment of a central organization, a knowledge platform, certification systems, and a sustainability fund. The new body of knowledge proposed was the MAKHA Model, consisting of Mindful Integration, Alliance Building, Knowledge-based Platform, Holistic Development, and Appreciation & Accreditation. This model was not only a practical tool but also reflected philosophical, spiritual, and social values that could serve as a new compass for inner development and the sustainable advancement of the IDG leadership network in Thai society.
