Lesson for arjuna

Arjuna hearing about his son's death resolved to take revenge on Jayadrata who was responsible for luring him away from the spot pf the Chakra vyuha. he vowed that he would smash Jayadrata's head to pieces before the sun set taht day.Jayadrata however , hearing about Arjuna's resolve, went into hiding..

Time was running out and Arjuna was preplexed. it was
Krishna's startegy hid the sunb behind clouds .believing that the sun had set . Jayadrata came out of the hiding the sun and arjuna killed Jayadrata.


The lesson for Arjuna here was that targets and time limits should not be set when emotions are runniing high. Further, arjuna could not concentrate on teh strategy to kill Jayadrata , having one eye always on teh sun.

To be good manager one should learn continuously otherwise he would stagnate . continuous learning helps one to be creative in solving problems active learning, a keen desire to learn something new everyday, will differentiate managers from others.



Managers should be focused like Arjuna who was only student who took the initiative of going Drona and asking him to teach the skills required for entering Chakra vyuha and remained focused on his objective of being the greatest archer in the world.

In todays competitive corporate world it is the manager who plays the major role of synchronizing and co-ordinating  his associates and partners energy and efforts towards accompluishments of organsational goals. He  can do emulating Arjuna in certain respects.
Arjuna was an ultimate warrior full of dynamism and action. He had totally surrendered his ego. If managers could shed their ego and learn even from their subordinates and associates, the experience could be enriching.

Or can we say we have reached a stage where there is no need for us to learn or unlearn?
