Top 5 Leadership Qualities by Lord Rama

After attending so many corporate leadership training programs and project management training programs, I am now able to connect all these to Lord Rama's leading qualities, how He was a great leader and good project manager.

Leaders are not those who just care for himself to grow and exploit their people but leader are those who help their people to grow parallel and in his absence their people are able to manage the situation.

Leadership is not about personal relationship oriented but it's people oriented.

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a true leader."

When Ravana heard that Lord Rama has reached in the seashore and trying to build a bridge to cross the sea, he laughed out loudly and said to his ministers, "Do you all think these monkeys can build that bridge to reach us?"

But Lord Rama applied Nala and Nila the two architect brothers who were talented in creating bridges and Hanuman and other monkeys started bringing big big stones and trees and there was one small squirrel she was also helping to Lord Rama by putting small dust particles of stones in the gaps between two stones and trying to fill the gaps so that stones can be fixed at one place.

We can see how Lord Rama applied his all the resources to engage happily in their task.

So here we are going to see top 5 qualities of Lord Rama and how can we also be a good leader by following this to in our life.

1. Individual Player:
Lord Rama always responsible to His duty by following His Father's instructions to go into exile for 14 years and give up the throne and fight with Ravana to get back to Mother Sita.
Everyone needs to be an individual player, whatever talent the person has, he has to polish it and should come-up with betterment and do the needful to prove it. Lord Rama was a prince, he has never been to the forest life, but if asked to go he never denied and accepted it. So in our life many times we also face the same situation, but instead of denying it, we must accept may be it will give us a good result, but most of them will reject this and only who has individual player quality will accept it.

2. Team Player:
Lord Rama has qualities to connect and establish relationship with everyone like Jatayu (Birds) and Sugriva (Monkey) & Vibhishana (Demon). So He played his Role as per circumstances and individual.
By this we can learn, how we can also manage to each individual by his nature and behavior. But the major mistake what we do is we put everyone in the same bucket and try to compare. So analyze the person and deal according to his nature and then you will be a good team player.

3. Team Leader: 
Lord Rama proved a good Team Leader quality as we can see only group of monkeys He defeated Ravana even Ravana has very huge army.
A Good Team Leader knows each and every individual in his team, as every individual has unique talent, but we need to apply it in a proper way and guide them in the right direction. But If you ask a fish to climb on trees and monkey to swim in the river, the whole life they both can not complete their task. So assign tasks as per your resource capacity and tallent they have they must give you the proper result.

4. Engage Weakest Person in team:
Team Leader engages the weakest person from his team to be busy in his task, Lord Rama Kept even a tiny squirrel to be busy in building the Ramsetu bridge. By doing this we can not only utilize someone potentials, but also the person can feel good by his Team Leader behavior.

5. Visionary Leader:
A Leader should be vision full, If someone has no vision in his life, he will never get his target and be peaceful in life. Without vision there is no life, as it is said, If a human has no vision he is not a human but two leg animal.
We can learn from Lord Rama keeping His vision to give peace, love, happiness and make law and order perfect in His Kindgdom.

In the history and the future no one can compete Lord Rama being a good Leader, so if we follow His footprints surely we also can be a good leader and achieve our goal.

Life is a preparation, death is an examination

We participate in so many exams in our life, and get the results as per our preparation for that exams. But most of the exams we have option, whether to attempt it or not? But there is one exam in our life which we may ignore saying we will see when it would come in our life, but we all have to attempt we don't have any choice, whether we are poor,  rich,  educated or illiterate. Srila Prabhupada used to say, this life is our preparation how we are preparing our-self for coming exam.  Because that exam has no prior time table, no time period, no grace marks, and no cheat sheet allowed. And you may be surprise to know, all our activities are recorded by Yamduta for our each and every moments with evidence. Yes, Yamduta will show your answer sheet and you can review it, whether he has marked you in correct way or not? You are successful, if you are passed your exams but if you are failed then you don't know when you will have to reattempt that exam (it could be after 84 laces bir

Be Humble - Time can change everything

When we get name, fame and power we puffed by the false ego and become arrogant to the people and think no one is greater than me. But our history says, who were arrogant, time has collapsed all of them. None of us can say, I can beat the time and can go against it. We all are under control of Time as Lord Krishna has already stated in the Bhagwad Gita (I am the time and eveything is under my control). But due to our false ego we do not accept this fact become arrogant with other people instead of becoming humble with them. Who was "King of Good times" now became "King of bad times", so easily we can understand time make us King or Beggar. So we should be always being humble with the people in our Good times and take blessings from them for our bad times, but we do exactly opposite of it, we become arrogant in Good times and seek for blessings in our bad times. But what is the use of it, when you hurt someone, you lose sympathy from that person's heart.

A visit to GEV

Srila Prabhupada was very much concerned about modern life style and he always used to tell his disciples, only building temples are not enough to live a pure Krishna Conscious way of life along with it we must follow our Vedic Culture and in our Vedic Culture we were fully dependent on Cows and Lands but in modern age we have rejected both and result we are not getting healthy foods and milk products. So we have to build Farm Communities where we can live a healthy life and in minimum amount of time we can produce grains, vegetables, fruits and milk products etc. and rest of the time they can do their devotional service. Milk and Grains can not be produced in factories and for this we require Cows and Lands. Govardhan Ecovillage is a project of International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The project is owned and managed by ISKCON Wada, Maharashtra. It is the result of an ardent desire of H.H.Radhanath Swami Maharaj to fulfill the dream of his beloved guru, His Divine
