HOW IT APPLIES TO KRISHNA ?

1.Creative destruction.(destroying the old and creating the new one)

2.To do motivation.

3.Setting goals.

Mahabharata was the biggest battle in

ancient India between Pandavas and

Kauravas, and had each and every other

king/ruler fighting from either of the

sides.

Duryodhana representing Kauravas and Arjuna representing Pandavas, reached

at nearly the same time to Krishna for calling him to fight from their side.

Krishna asked them to choose between him and his complete army. Since he

alone was capable of destroying the world, leave alone the opponent, he would

not raise arms and play a non-combatant role. Arjuna choose to have him and

Duryodhana was happy to have gained his mighty army.

the INBORN QUALITIES ARE…

Stick on the goal

Motivational skills

Effective strategies

Leadership qualities

Direction and controlling

1.STICK ON A GOAL

Krishna had three 3 clear cut goals that he followed and achieved 100% targets.

1.Paritrayana sadhunaam ---- welfare for

saints…

2.Vinashaya Dushkritaam----- Destroy evil

3.Dharmasansthapanaay sambhavani yuge

yuge……

To establish and strengthen religion

in every era.

2.MOTIVATIONAL SKILLS

When Arjun reached the battle field he loose his determination to fight …

He saw that among the opponents were many of his relatives young and old and that he was going to kill them for the sake of Kingdom.

He resisted from fighting and dropped arms.

Lord Krishna motivated him by his speech which was later named “BHAGWAT GITA” that’s still read and followed. Arjun recovered and decided to fight.

EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES

Manager should have skills to build strategies to achieve target

Pandavas and Kauravas had soldiers and warriors strength in the ratio of 7:11,

Pandavas and Kauravas having 1.53 millions and 2.41 millions. With this count it was clear that the battle could be won only with Effective Strategies.

The fact that Pandavas won the battle proves that Krishna was successful not only in building strategies but in implementing them to achieve success.

LEADERSHIP QUALITY

1.When Krishna asked Arjuna and Duryodhana to choose between him and his army, the choice was, in fact, between a Leader and his Resources.

2.While a Good Leader can gain from limited resources, a Bad Leader will loose even with vast resources. Knowing his excellent Leadership Qualities,

3.Arjuna requested Krishna not only to lead the entire mission but to personally lead him by accepting to be his “Saarthi” (Charioteer), guide him and lead him to success.

DIRECTION AND CONTROLLING

Controlling an army of 1.53 million soldiers and warriors to fight against a bigger army was not an easy task.

The 1.53 million soldiers were divided in

seven divisions, led by a Commander each,

further controlled by a Supreme

Commander who himself was guided by the

Pandavas and Krishna.

Conclusion1.Agreed that Lord Krishna was ‘God’ and

almighty and that he could have done the task himself without involving a single person.

2.But the Battle of Mahabharat had him in a non-combatant role and that the Pandavas won the battle is due to his extra-ordinary Managerial Qualities achieving 100% target.

3.And thus, we can call him the GREATEST

MANGER in the World.
