backed by ethics earns a good reputation for the company leading to its success in th
long run.
2. Clear vision and goal: For any endeavour tosucceed, the manager must have a cle:
vision and goals. In Ramayana, Lord Ram was on the path of Dharma. The vision was
to uphold the Dharma and defeat the evil. He had the clear objective of rescuing Dei
Sita from Lanka. His followers could relate to the vision and knew the objective to be
achieved. Similarly, amanager must first establish avision and then define the goals to be
achieved. Clearly defined goals help us to plan and determine the course of future action
3. Leadership: Ravan and his mighty army had won several battles and had even conquered
the Devas. Defeating such aformidable enemy was aseemingly impossible task. This
feat was realized because Lord Ram demonstrated excellent leadership to his army
(Vaanar Sena). He guided themn through challenges such as crossing the sea. He lead
them from the front during the war. He instilled confidence in them about their righteous
objective of rescuing Mata Sita. Thus, he inspired the vanaras to fight against Ravan's
well-trained army and lead them to victory. Similarly, every manager must work towards
being an excellent leader. He must guide his teamn and support them in any challenges.
Such leaders are respected by the followers and are able to achieve exceptional results.
4. Motivation: Amotivated employee is an asset to any organisation. He gives his best to
thework assigned and is able toreach his potential. Amotivated employee may be able
to achieve results beyond expectations. In Ramayana, one such instance is seen when
the Vanaras were searching Devi Sita. Angad and his team reach the shores of the Sea
and feel demotivated as they had been unable to find Devi Sita within the stipulated
time. They came to know that she could be in Lanka but noone believed that they could
cross the sea. At this time, Jamvant says that only Lord Hanuman has the capability to
cross the sea. He motivates Lord Hanuman by reminding him about his strength and
expressing his confidence in his abilities to accomplish the task at hand. Lord Hanuman
becomes motivated and undertakes to accomplish the team's mission.
5. Environmental analysis and SWOT: When Lord Hanuman reaches Lanka, he takes a
miniature form and searches for Mata Sita in the city. In the process, he comes across
Vibhishana who later becomes an ally to Lord Ram. After finding and meeting Devi Slt
Lord Hanuman could have returned without being discovered. Yet he deliberately creal
a disturbance in the Ashok Vatika (garden) to attract the attention of the guards. He acted
in this manner so that he could meet Ravan and guage the strength of the enemy defences
