Born in 3rd Century B.C. in India, Chanakya was also known as Vishnu Gupta and Kautilya. Through the centuries, scholars have described Chanakya as a rare mastermind who became an expert in varied and specialized fields like management, economics, politics, law, leadership, and several others.

The Strong foundation is the key for an successful business. Your vision, your Commitment, your Purpose, all these form the all important pillars of an organization, the most essential part of any building. 7 elements are. 1. The King ( The Leader) 2. The Minister ( The Manager) 3. The Country ( The Market/ Client / Customer) 4. The Fortified City ( Head Office) 5. The Treasury 6. The Army ( The Team) 7. The Ally (Friend/ Consultant ) Look at the seven Pillars. Only when these are built into firm and strong sections cans the organization shoulders any responsibility and face all challenges. And while building them do not forget to imbibe that vital ingredient called VALUE

The Root of any business lies in its Core Value System- its philosophy. This was also pointed out by the father of modern management, peter ducker. He said, Profits are by-products of business, not its very goal. in the above verse, Kautilya brings out the finer points of the importance of ethics in business 1. Guidance. 2. Decision in Action 3. Adhering To Law 4. Doing ones Duty

This is where we need Kautilyas advice about focusing on knowledge. A leader should focus on making his organization a knowledge organization. But, first he has to start with himself. 1. Gather More Information 2. Study The Information Acquired 3. Experiment 4. Train

Who is a leader, and how can one identify him? This is a challenge by it self. One will realize that a person successful in one area can be failure in another area. Or, one who is a successful leader in a particular group may be a failure while leading another group for a different Task. But, before we start training and creating leadership programmers, it is important to identify the right leaders. You need to ask few questions that will tell you weather that candidate will fit in to the leadership frame work. Question: Does he Give credit to others when he is appreciated. Question : Is he firm in his opinions, or does he change his view point every now and then.

Question: How does he conduct meetings?

Question: Does he command the respect and attention of his seniors ? And his subordinates

Question: Give a challenge, how fast does he complete the task
