The commonly told tale is that after Chanakyawas humilated by the Nandas, and chandraguptabeing thrown out of the nanda army, chanakyawas walking in a forest when the kusa grass hurt

him by tripping him over. Since the grass isextremely difficult to uproot, people let it growwithout destroying it but chanakya poured sugarsyrup on the grass. When Chandragupta askedhim why, Chanakya replied that he was makingthe root of the grass sweet which will attract antsand the ants will destroy the grass. And that didhappen. When asked why a simple grass wasbeing destroyed for vegenance, Chanakya repliedthat everyone owes a duty to the society byremoving noxious things, and he would removeeven a king if the king adopted adharma. Thisshows Chanakya's intelligence and foresight.

o.WHO ARE THE

SUBJECTS/FOLLOWERS ?Well, they are the persons who arereporting to you or are dependent on you.They wait for your directions, which in itself has a direct implication on their lives. In the

case of a company, it’s the employees. In afamily, they are your children and relatives.The first and foremost duty of a king(leader) is to keep his subjects happy.

The first reason subjects to becomeunhappy is discarding the good andfavouring the wicked. Subjects come to theleader for justice. When they do not find asolution to their problems amongthemselves, they seek the leader’s advice,

direction and justice. If he favours thewron and discards the ri ht it’s a ver



HOW TO RESOLVE THE ABOVEPROBLEM AND MAINTAIN GOODLEADER FOLLOWER RELATIONSHIP

LISTEN TO BOTH TOGETHER AND SEPARTELY

It’s very necessary to listen to both sides of thestory. But after they have expressed their viewstogether, do not hurry with the decision. When bothare facing each other, there are a lot of emotionsand personal feelings expressed. Therefore, listento them separately too. Get the facts. You will get

better idea who was right. At times we are not ableto come to any decision, its called“Dharmasankath” . In such conflicting situationstake the help of books (scriptures) and masters

learned in the particular field.



ANNOUNCE THE VERDICT

UNEMOTIONALLY After one has analyzed

the situation, announce

the verdict. Also explainthe ‘reason’ for thesame. Be just. But morethan anything else, be

unemotional. That’s themost vital part.

1. THE KING (The leader)All great organizations have great leaders.

The leader is the visionary, the captain, theman who guides the organization. In today'scorporate world we call him the Director, CEO,etc. Without him we will loose direction.

2. THE MINISTER (The manager) The manager is the person who runs the show- the second-in-command of an organization.He is also the person whom you can depend

upon in the absence of the leader. He is theman who is always in action. An extra ordinaryleader and an efficient manager togetherbring into existence a remarkable

organization



3. THE COUNTRY (Your market)

It is the area of your operation. The place from whereyou get your revenue and cash flow. You basicallydominate this territory and would like to keep yourmonopoly in this segment.

4. THE FORTIFID CITY (Head office)

You need a control tower - a place from where allplanning and strategies are made. It's from here thatyour central administrative work is done. It's thenucleus and the center of any organisation.

is also your financial hub.

accountant, the driver, the peon - all of themadd to your team.

7. THE ALLY (friend / consultant)

In life you should have a friend who is just likeyou. Being, in the same boat, he can identifywith you and stay close. He is the one whom

you can depend upon when problems arise.After all, a friend in need is a friend in deed.

Confucius said that the three marks of asuperior man are:

Being virtuous, and thus free from anxiety.

Being wise, and thus free from perplexity.

Being brave, and thus free from fear.

Chanakya may not have known aboutConfucius or his sayings, but he lived that life!

Articles on ChanakyaAs Subramaniam puts it 'There is an

ethical undertone in his thought and

teaching. In the Arthasastra, which hasoften been misunderstood, he says thatthe crux of this political science is controlover senses.'



Mukherji in his article 'The foundation of the Mauryanempire' comments, 'The country had hardly recovered fromthe shock of Alexanders victorious march through which ithad dislocated its indigenous political organization....Theatmosphere was full of frustration and depression.Fortunately the country produced such a leader in youngChandragupta who had already been prepared for the greatmission in life by the Brahmin Chanakya. Chanakya’s

superior vision and insight led him to discover in this youththe disciple who would be able, under his direction, to freethe motherland of foreign rule.'





The most accurate description of Chanakya can

be found in Nehru's words in the Discovery of India, 'Chanakya has been called the IndianMachiavelli and to some extent the comparision is

justified. But he was a much bigger person in

every way, greater in intellect and reason. He wasno mere follower of a King, a humble adviser of anall powerful emperor but also a great leader.



Prof. Devi Shetty (Director of IIML) stated inan article published in Times of India,“Chanakya is undoubtedly the greatest Leader

and Management Guru of all time.”
