Heroes and Leaders

Interesting analogy between Indian mythological characters and leadership styles: 1. The right-action driven leader -The Rama leader: Never takes a decision that is unethical or could cause harm or damage. Even if it means enduring losses. Values societal good over everything else. 2. The objectively-clear coach. The Krishna leader: Extremely clear on purpose and objective and ruthless in its pursuit. Marked by a team of extremely diverse and talented CEO's who head verticals, all of which are market leaders. 3. The flawed-great. The Ravana leader: Builder of conglomerates that are fundamentally anti-life. Everything else about them is as remarkable as the Rama leader, however the biggest problem is their denial that what they produce is harmful to Earth, nature and life. 4. The Negative loyalist. The Duryodhana leader: They create the greatest challenger brands. This leader inspires tremendous personal loyalty. Such companies often resort to fraudulent means to win and get caught. A pity for the companies could have been great if not driven by the negative trait. 5. The invisibles. The Bhishma Leader. Rarely heard or seen. Often unknown. These leaders build great companies under the shadows of big names and then quietly fade into oblivion.
