2. Manage from the left brain and
lead from the right brain.
S.Covey 2006 p.147
The enemy of the best is
good…innovate in terms of the
way you look at the
world…growth, evolution and re-
invention sustain life.
Robin S. 2006 p.119

3. Managerial excellence includes a basket of skills,
knowledge and attitudes that help an individual or
an organization or an industry to contribute to self
growth and social welfare. It starts with building a
vision and ends with executing programmes. In
this long journey, from vision to projects,
managerial excellence promotes reciprocity,
connectivity, mutual dependence, constructive
confrontation, pursuit for excellence, synergy,
calculated risk taking , anticipating and
responding to change and adding social and
ethical edge to their goals and processes.

4. Success and excellence largely depends
upon the behavior, attitude and performance
of people in the front line of leadership, It is
their moral duty to be “good role models”
;n~;kpjfrJs’BLrRRk nsosrjks tu%&xhrk3-21
The word used here is vkpjfr.
Actions are louder than speech. What we
are and what we do is more observable than
what we preach.

5. Working together is good but working
together joyfully is the best. It demands an
attitude of “malice towards none”
Geeta calls it vimatsara 4.22 it indicates
absence of jealously. Karmyogi work
without attachment, fear and anger (vit ,rag
bhaya, krodh 2.56)

6. Working with full details to execute work at
the highest level of excellence is very different
from having eye on fruits or results of action.
Krishna makes this distinction clear
throughout the Geeta.
In short one should be involved in karma and
not in phala. Such a divine worker is ever
happy nitya tripto, has an inner joy and peace,
oozing out from the inner source. Such a
person does not depend up on any source of
joy and peace outside himself nirashraya.

7. Some verses of Geeta relevant for managerial
excellence:
3.8- do your assigned duty.
3.8- activity is always better than inactivity.
3.11- do your assigned duties with view to help
one another and to empower others.
3.19-perform your activities continousely and
without attachment.
3.21-people emulate and copy the behaviour of
the great people.
3.20,3.25- act for social good, social upliftment
(loksangrah)
3.27-do not let your ego declare that you are the
doer.

8. Geeta gives three similes for
jnana which are important for
excellent managers:
Knowledge as fire (jananagni)4.37
Knowledge as rapier (jnansina)4.42
knowledge as raft (jnanplaven) 4.36
means more “power”

9. Equanimity is another key word for
managers:
5.8 person who look every one with
one eye.
5.25 person who work for the good of
all.
Such person can establish peace, social
cohesion and decisively resist clash of
civilizations.

10. 9.27 whatever you do, offer that
to me.
If one follow it one will not
engage oneself in mean act.

11. Many factors promote or hinder in
discharging our duties and obligations
at the point of excellence. Patience,
perseverance, persistence and egoless
mindset contribute to excellence in
performance. But what is to be done
and what need not to be done demands
discrimination between pravariti and
nivariti. All it demand viveka.

12. A successful, excellent and
noble managers use “Viveka”
in
all their actions and reactions.

13. This is not all about Geeta, one
can bring more interpretations
related to management and
other fields if he has time to
read it properly.( with chitta)
