COMPETENCIESEXAMPLE


2/19

Clarity of Purpose(Or how Arjuna saw only the birds eye to

the exclusion of everything else.)


3/19

G uru Dronacharya was training his pupils testing their

powers of concentration. Each of the tiny tots was aiming

their arrows at a distant target. What exactly do yousee? he asks a pupil. The sky. replies the pupil, and

the tree, and the branch, and the leaves, and the bird

sitting in between. The G uru moves on. And what do yousee, Arjuna? The birds eye, G urudev. And nothing

else? Nothing else. At a very early age, Arjuna

displayed an understanding of the big picture and yet zeroed in on a single focal point, seeing clearly what

needed to be done and the means to achieving it. Qualities

he would put to invaluable use later in his life.

one)


5/19

When he met Chanakya the clever brahmin, Chandragupta

was a weak king. Chanakya showed him how to be strong.He taught the king the tactics of war, and gave him insights

on how to expand his empire. Chanakyas strategies were

put into practice by Chandragupta and soon his kingdom

expanded. Under Chanakyas guidance, the king

established his kingdom and increased his influence.

Chanakya built and nurtured Chandraguptas

Influencing Oth ers(Or how a docait was transformed into a revered sage)


7/19

Once Narad Muni, the heavenly seer, was waylaid by a dacoit. Why

are you doing this? Narad asked him. For my family, of course.

Replied the dacoit. But, countered Narad, dont you know that this

is sin? Yes, said the dacoit, but how else do I raise my family?

Okay, but will they share your sin with you? Of course they will,

replied the dacoit. After all, Im sinning for them. The dacoit went

back to his family and asked them but to his surprise, his wife and

children refused to share his sin. Well, what happened? asked Narad

on the dacoits return. The dacoit recounted his conversation with his

family. With just one relevant question and without revealing himself,

Narad influenced the dacoit to change his way of life. The dacoit went

on to become the great sage Valmiki. Later he wrote the epic Ramayan.

M arket Orientation(Or how a king became popular byadapting himself to the culture of hispeople)


9/19

Emperor Akbar, probably the greatest Mughul ruler of India, had

a ticklish issue to solve. All Muslim rulers were looked upon as

foreigners by the people, the majority of whom were Hindus.Akbar understood that this reality, though external to him,

impacted his popularity. He anticipated the needs of his people

and wanted to deliver them. The solution, Akbar realised, was tointegrated himself with the majority. So he appointed local

Rajputs as his high ranking ministers, even married a Rajputs as

his high ranking ministers, even married a Rajput princess, whobore him his successor, Jehangir. Akbar successfully oriented

himself to the changing scenario and emerged the most popular

Mughul king of India.

Leading Others(Or how Krishna inspired a reluctant Arjuna to victory)


11/19

Arjuna, the greatest archer of all time was confused. He

had to fight against his own G uru and cousins, something

which made him very uncomfortable. Lord Krishna, a born

leader, came to his side and encouraged him to fight with a

historical speech. He said To a hero of fame like you,

dishonour is worse than death. Stand up and do your duty

without desiring anything at all. That was all Arjuna

needed and he not only fought but won the battle for Pandavas. Krishna knew exactly how to inspire people, get

the best out of them and spur them on to higher

achievements.


12/19

Objective Analytical Power (Or how a young prince assessed acomplex situation and acted to uphold thedignity of his warrior father)


13/19

Abhimanyu, the teenager son Arjuna, was recognised as his

fathers equal in battle. On a day when Arjuna was away,

he was lured into battle. He was asked to penetrate the

Chakravyooh, the dangerous lotus formation on the

battleground from which no warrior bar Arjuna could

emerge alive. Abhimanyu did a realistic assessment of thesituation. He knew that he could not come out of it alive.

But objectively assessing the situation he realised that he

had to put aside his self-interest and lead the army, as that was the only way victory could achieved. Even at the point

of being weaponless, his fight was undaunted. His end was

heroic.

Practical Creativity(Or how a thirsty crow quenched his

thirst with stones)


15/19

A thirsty crow faced a peculiar problem:

The water level in the jug he found was too low for hisbeak. What could he do? Stretch himself, dive in and risk

his life? Or tilt the jug, risk it falling and the water

spilling? To quench his thirst, he needed to create a newinsight which could become a realistic plan. The crow

looked around and found some pebbles. He picked them up

one by one, and began to drop them in the jug to add volume to the water. G radually the water level rose, the

crow had his fill and a valuable lesson was learnt.
