6. Mahabharat was the biggest battle
fought in ancient India between
Pandavas and Kauravas, and had
each and every other king/ruler
fighting from either of the sides.
Duryodhana representing Kauravas and Arjuna representing
Pandavas, reached at nearly the same time to Krishna for
calling him to fight from their side. Krishna asked them to
choose between him and his complete army. Since he alone
was capable of destroying the world, leave alone the opponent,
he would not raise arms and play a non-combatant role. Arjuna
choose to have him and Duryodhana was happy to have gained
his mighty army.

7. STICK ON A GOAL
Krishna had three 3 clear cut goals that he followed
and achieved 100% targets.
Paritrayana sadhunaam ---- welfare for saints
Vinashaya Dushkritaam----- Destroy evil
Dharmasansthapanaay sambhavani yuge yuge
----To establish and strengthen religion in every
era

8. MOTIVATIONAL SKILLS
 When Arjun reached the battle field he loose his
determination to fight
 He saw that among the opponents were many of his
relatives young and old and that he was going to kill
them for the sake of Kingdom.
 He resisted from fighting and dropped arms.
 Lord Krishna motivated him by his speech which was
later named “BHAGWAT GITA” that’s still read and
followed. Arjun recovered and decided to fight.

9. EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES
Manager should have skills to build strategies to
achieve target
Pandavas and Kauravas had soldiers and warriors
strength in the ratio of 7:11,
Pandavas and Kauravas having 1.53 millions and 2.41
millions. With this count it was clear that the battle
could be won only with Effective Strategies.
The fact that Pandavas won the battle proves that
Krishna was successful not only in building strategies
but in implementing them to achieve success.

10. LEADERSHIP QUALITY
 When Krishna asked Arjuna and Duryodhana to
choose between him and his army, the choice was, in
fact, between a Leader and his Resources.
 While a Good Leader can gain from limited resources,
a Bad Leader will loose even with vast resources.
Knowing his excellent Leadership Qualities,
 Arjuna requested Krishna not only to lead the entire
mission but to personally lead him by accepting to be
his “Saarthi” (Charioteer), guide him and lead him to
success.

11. DIRECTION AND CONTROLLING
Controlling an army of 1.53
million soldiers and warriors to
fight against a bigger army was
not a easy task.
The 1.53 million soldiers were divided in seven
divisions, led by a Commander each, further controlled
by a Supreme Commander who himself was guided
by the Pandavas and Krishna.

12. Conclusion
 Agreed that Lord Krishna was ‘God’ and almighty and
that he could have done the task himself without
involving a single person.
 But the Battle of Mahabharat had him in a non-
combatant role and that the Pandavas won the battle is
due to his extra-ordinary Managerial Qualities
achieving 100% target.
 And thus, we can call him the GREATEST MANGER in
the World.
