Management theory exclusively written by Mathangi Kumar is welcome after a long time. Leading from front and leading from behind are two types of managers; each needed in an appropriate situation; a strange land. a rakshasa of power , hidden guerilla war; Ramayana war was in a new situation unknown; so in order to mitigate that fear, Rama had to lead. And it is not for the war on requiring the land or expansion of the kingdom; but purely a situation where one has to redeem his wife and the prestige. Individual problems culminated in war; as a matter of fact Anjaneya was sent to locate seetha and if possible to advocate proper mode of action. No enmity with any one; Ravana was advised; to send back Seetha. Had it been done there would have been no war. However Ramavataram is only to Kill ravana. Then Ravana must fight with only Rama to die. The war was the apprehension of the Ravanas. Even without Monkeys Rama would have gone to Sri Lanka. So management of individual success or failure is leading from front; unlike that of modern war where even Brigadiers lead in front as the success was inevitable and had to be penetrative. In companies such things do happen where the last chance to redeem or win over or take back shall not be lost, then even the GM may lead in front. On the contrary, Krishna avatharam was nort to destroy duryodhana. Nor even to protect the modesty of Draupadi. Dharma shetre Kurushetre means avataram in itself was to reduce many odd characters and to establish the dharma. Krishna could have done it by one chakra. But the reasons for annihilations could have been badly interrupted. Majority of the people will understand a film only when fully explained through the dialogues. So also the script writer Krishna moves many pieces of chess coins. And the happenings shall be natural chaos. Revelation of all characters. People will know who is who. And history blames only the Pandava kaurava as Krishnan did nothing But Kannadasan wrote :"kannane kaattinaan; kannane kolai seigiraan; so arjuna raise your Gandeepam; did ever any judge hanged the culprit? So from behind Krishna operated. Many senior officials had done that; where credit accrues it is through them; a book PRR critic-wrote on a DGP is such; a poor constable would have staked his life and would remain unsung. The directions issued might not have been obeyed by a small crew in finishing the job; if failed they are scapegoats; victorious she is the Bharatha ratna. From behind the hero or the Heroine gets the credits only and all debits to the scape-goats. Management is a tricky job sir KR IRS 31 1 24
