8 management lessons we can learn from Lord Krishna
- Prioritize Commitments
Krishna, a firm believer in the law of karma, was deeply committed to his purpose: defeating the demon Kamsa and freeing Vasudeva and Devaki from his grasp. He was dedicated to this mission from the moment of his birth.
2. Share Your Knowledge Freely
Krishna, often referred to as ‘Sarvagnya’ (the all-knowing), never hesitated to share his wisdom. He famously enlightened Arjuna on the purpose of the Mahabharata war, which we now know as the Bhagavad Gita.
3. Stay Focused on Goals
Krishna had three clear goals: promoting the welfare of the good, eradicating evil, and upholding righteous principles. As a manager, it’s crucial to set and stick to your organizational goals without being swayed by distractions.
4. Embrace Strategic Thinking
Krishna was a master strategist who played a pivotal role in the Pandavas’ victory in the Mahabharata war. His tactical skills, like the incident with Duryodhana, showcase his strategic prowess.
5. Be a Great Leader
Despite possessing supreme powers, Krishna chose to guide the Pandavas rather than finish the war swiftly. This exemplifies the essence of effective leadership—empowering and inspiring your team.
6. Avoid Bias Based on Relationships
Whether dealing with the demise of Kamsa or motivating the Pandavas against the Kauravas, Krishna always upheld dharma (righteousness) regardless of his familial ties.
7. Master the Art of Communication
Krishna consistently motivated the Pandavas when they felt demoralized. He also disrupted negotiations between the Pandavas and Kauravas to ensure the war for righteousness would take place.
8. Stay Humble
Despite being the supreme being, Krishna led a simple life. He associated with common people, played with cowherds, befriended Sudama, and even served as Arjuna’s charioteer, demonstrating his down-to-earth nature.
Krishna’s wisdom is vast, like an ocean. Let’s dive into it to reach new heights of knowledge.
