6. Alternative Paradigms from Gita:
Notion of time
Lord Krishna’s first lesson to Arjun is to train his mind
to the notion of time that is essentially long term.
(Chapter 2, Slokas 11-13)
A good understanding of this helps Librarian to feel
less pressurized of performance targets in the short
run and instead develop some conviction to engage
in activities and decisions that seek to create a
balance between short term and long term.

7. Performance Metrics and Assessment
The biggest constraint for modern management is
the MINDSET towards performance metrics and
assessment.
WORLD OF DUALITY.

Chapter 2 verse 14: Lord Krishna urges Arjuna to learn to
tolerate the ups and down that characterizes the world of
duality.

of equanimity begets a composed and a complete
personality.
Chapter 14 Slokas 24 & 25: He explains all the important
attributes pertaining to the world of duality that a leader
must possess to be successful in his/her work place.
