Legend Leader Like Krishna (No, Seriously)

Imagine in Modern corporate world, you're the boss of a team, facing huge project. You need to get everyone on board, motivated, and working together to win. This same situation played out thousands of years ago in Mahabharata. 

Don't worry, it's not all about gods and stuff (though there's some of that 😉). This tale is packed with leadership lessons that are still totally relevant today.

Think of it like the ultimate project management guide from way back. On one team, you've got the Pandavas, basically the winners with Krishna as their rockstar leader. The legend rallied his crew with genius plans and never doubted them for a sec. On the other side, you have the Kauravas, who totally flopped with a lousy leader. This leader made bad calls and let drama tear his team apart. Major fail.

Just picture a leader not at the front, but guiding others to shine. That's Krishna's style.

He didn't control the Pandavas; he gave them space to use their own talents, offering support and advice when needed. 

I will highlight few of the learnings from this Legend character of Mahabharata, who is the Leadership Guru and is relevant to modern corporate world 😲

• Chill Advisor, Not Bossy McBossface: No yelling orders. Krishna was more like a wise whisperer, turning fear into confidence. 

• Empathy is Your Secret Weapon: Forget just being forceful or a know-it-all. Krishna forged genuine connections with each individual, understanding their struggles, fears, and aspirations. This allowed him to tailor his approach, inspiring them to reach their full potential.  

• Hype Man Mode: Don't just make plans, get your team pumped! Krishna's words were like fire, motivating his crew to win. Be their cheerleader, their friend, their guiding light.

• Mastermind the Puzzle: Imagine a puzzle with missing pieces. Each Pandava warrior had unique skills, but they were scattered, unsure of their purpose. Krishna, like a patient puzzle master, saw the bigger picture. He placed each piece, from the fiery Arjuna to the wise Draupadi, in the right spot, creating a team stronger than the sum of its parts.

• Communication is Key: Krishna wasn't just throwing out jargon. He explained complex things simply and connected with his team. His expressions, changing from a playful smile during a game to a serious look during a talk, added extra meaning to his words.

He taught that figuring things out smartly involves considering both what's good and what actually works in the real world.

He being agile with the demand of situation; Even after not fair distribution of warriors between Pandavas and Kaurawas, Krishna made strategy such a way that he used the right power of people at right time. 

If you are intrigued and  haven't seen the Mahabharata yet ! This is the time to go and watch it before you enroll for any other management course. It is the base of any element in human life.

The Mahabharata isn't just a story, it's a leadership manual for life. 

Deep dive & check out the Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita (basically a cheat sheet of Krishna's wisdom). You won't regret it !!
