Managementlessons to learn

from theLord Krishna

Krishna, more than a Hindu God he

is the true spiritual guru that this

universe has witnessed. In every

sense he is a role model. motivator

and a strategist from whom we

have so many things to learn. On

this auspicious Krishna

Janmashtami ( Birthday of Lord

Krishna ), let’s have a look at the 8

management lessons that we can

learn from the God himself.

True believer and preacher of Karmicphilosophy, Krishna knew that the main

purpose of his avatar is to kill demonKamsa and to relieve Vasudeva and Devakifrom the bitter hands of Kamsa. He was socommitted to it that right from his birth he

was prepared for it.

Commitments First

Yes Krishna being a ‘Sarvagnya’ neverhesitated to share his thoughts. It so

happened once that Arjuna refuses to fightwith his own relatives (Kowravas) then

Krishna preached him the purpose ofMahabharatha war and today we read it in

the name of Bhagwadgita.

Be The First One to ShareYour Learning

Krishna had three definite goals and throughouthis life he was stick to them.

Paritrayana sadhunam – welfare for good

vinashaya dushkritam – destroy evil (thoughts)

dharma sansthapana – establish and strength theprinciples

As a manager one should have clear cut goals inthe organisation and never allow their senses to

control him/her.

Stick to Goals

Krishna is an authentic strategist who withhis tactical skills won Mahabharatha war

for Pandavas. To quote one of the incidentsof his life, once krishna insults Duryodhana

for going nude in front of Gaandhari andmakes him to cover his thighs with a pieceof cloth. In the next scene Gandhari with

her immense power make the body ofDuryodhana as strong as a diamond exceptthe thigh part. At the end of Mahabharatha,krishna orders Bheema to hit on the thighsof Duryodhana which ultimately kills him.

Strategic Approach

With all supreme powers inculcated in him,Krishna had all the ability to finish

mahabharatha in few hours but he stood as ateacher and made pandavas to fight the war.This is the ultimate quality of a manager. The

way he lead the team of 5 against 100 isextremely mesmerizing.

Good Manager

Be it is in the time of killing kamsa ormotivating pandavas to kill the ballot ofkowravas, Krishna never took the side ofAdharma even though they are his own

relations.

Never Take Side Based onRelations

Whenever Pandavas went demotivatedKrishna was a motivation for them. Also inthe event of negotiation between pandavasand kowravas, Krishna intentionally brokethe negotiation because he wanted the warto happen. The reason was simple enoughto demolish the evil and establish dharma

in the country.

Tactful Communicator

Being the supreme of this universe, Krishnalived a simple life and he was a man of

people. He played with gollas (protector of cows), befriended with

Sudhama and most importantly he became acharioteer for Arjuna that shows his down

to earth behavior.
