Lord Krishna demonstrated exemplary leadership qualities. A few instances from which we get great lessons are:
1. Krishna carried Draupadi’s slippers in His own hands when He took Draupadi to Bhishma Pitamah to seek his blessings before the battle of Mahabharat.
2. He did the job of the charioteer of Arjun during the battle.
3. He washed the soiled and bruised feet of Sudama with His own hands.
While Draupadi, Arjun & Sudama were very very dear to Him, the sole purpose of Krishna’s existence was establishing righteousness. The above examples give the following important messages.
- No task is menial or below one’s dignity.
- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
- Get involved when with your body, mind and soul when you can make a difference.
- Evolve as a visionary & strategist.
- Always strive for a great cause.
A great leader is one who before expecting results from his team, sets examples of excellence and greatness.
