With all of that, it is both a management guide and a code of operations too! It is a how-to guide to life; an ethical \u201cdo\u201d and \u201cdon\u2019t do,\u201d as if the <em>Mahabharata<\/em> were originally written to be read as a leadership manual.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paratext\">There are characters throughout the <em>Mahabharata<\/em> who combine amazing leadership skills with just a few flaws and there are other characters who are irredeemably flawed, but who show us flashes of leadership brilliance. It is the flow of these characters shown at war\u2014their decisions and actions\u2014that create their genius. It is that genius that this book explores and seeks to appropriate in conveying leadership technique.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paratext\">No source for executive inspiration can be as definitive as what appears in the <em>Mahabharata<\/em> and no inspiration can boast the longevity from which this knowledge arises.
