MANAGE YOUR EMOTIONS

In management there is decision making,In leadership there  is understanding why one takes such decisions.
Management is action centric, Leadership is purpose centric.  Leadership keeps community building in the center, Management keeps systems in the center. A Leader inspires people,
 A Manager uses people.
 A Leader empowers people, A Manager sees people as great resources for increased productivity.
 A Leader is human sensitive, 
 A Manager is efficiency sensitive.   
 A Leader delivers people,
 A Manager delivers results. A Leader represents Gods compassion, trust and empowerment,
 A Manager represents God’s discipline, precautions and control. In life we need  to be both a manager and a leader. When subordinates misuse the compassion aspect of God, the discipline  aspect of God rolls in.
 A challenging situation  arises when a manager  has to take a  decision with  regards to a subordinate who he trusts and has rewarded many times previously , and that subordinate is caught in  indiscipline.
 The subordinate has got the reward for good work, but  he  has misused the affection of the manager, then the manger for the upkeep of order is forced to take a  harsh decision. This is  painful but there is  no solution other than a harsh one If  he does not take  a harsh  decision, many  subordinates may follow suit. This was the very purpose why Krishna made Arjuna hear the Bhagavad gita -because as the executor of   krishna s  decision Arjuna had  to deal with his most  loved  people not dealing wth them would  only add to the  suffering of more people, and eliminating them would add to Arjuna 's suffering. By the grace of God Arjuna with great difficulty chose to punish those whose eyes he would never look into  because of respect,  because he had taken the role of manager on behalf of Krishna he had to be extremely harsh with them to the extent of awarding  them with  capital punishment. In business a businessman cannot afford compassion towards his employees when they fail to produce good results. He has to make  a choice to exist in  business or to exit  business because of sentiments towards wrong doers.   A businessman man needs to be charitable to use his resources for good reasons but  if he were to be charitable towards inefficiency that  would deprive  him of his wealth and of  his charitable disposition.
 This works In Vedanta too, God is impartial whether you are his devotee or not -in regards to judging your material side of life.  God  may award special mukti to his devotees but only after they go through whatever they deserve  to for the material mistakes they have made. Jaya Vijaya - When they offeneded the great sages, externally God  gave them punishment- to show to the world and internally God  gave them special privilege but  the privilege was not in the  business of maintenance of creation.
 The choice is ours to be manager when we are manager, and to be  a leader when we are  a leader, mixing the two  can only bring  a disastrous end, or beginning of the  end  of our role as a  manager.  Because our boss  knows the system properly and will fire us.
