The modern management concepts like vision, leadership, motivation, excellence

in work, achieving goals, meaning of work, attitude to wards work, nature of

individual, in the Baghvad Gita with a sharp insight and finest analysis to rime

through our confused grey matter making in highly eligible to become a part of the

modern management syllabus.

Leadership is an important factor for making any type of organization

successfully. Through out the history it has been recognized that the difference

between “success” and “failure” whether in a war, a political movement, a

business, or a team game, can be attributed largely to leadership.

In this context the Baghvad Gita expounded thousands of years ago by the

Super Management Guru Krishna, enlightens us on all managerial techniques

leading to a harmonious and blissful state of affairs as against conflicts, tensions,

lowest efficiency and least productivity, absence of motivation and lack of work

culture etc common to most of the enterprises today.

BASS, BERNARD (1989):

Good leaders are born not made. Who have the desire and willpower, they

become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process

of self- study, education, training, and experience. This guide will help you

through that process. Good leaders are continually working and studying to

improve their leadership skills: they are not resting on their laurels

Effective leader qualities were discussed in Vedas and Baghvad Gita. For Example:

ATTITUDE TOWARDS WORK

Three stone-cutters were engaged in erecting a temple. A Human Resources manager

asked them what they were doing. The response of the three workers to this innocent-

looking question is illuminating.

'I am a poor man. I have to maintain my family. I am making a living here,' said the

first stone-cutter with a dejected face.

'Well, I work because I want to show that I am the best stone-cutter in the country,' said

the second one with a sense of pride.

'Oh, I want to build the most beautiful temple in the country,' said the third one with a

visionary gleam.

Their jobs were identical but their perspectives were different. What Gita tells us is to

develop the visionary perspective in the work we do. It tells us to develop a sense of

larger vision in one's work for the common good.
