Laugh And Learn Management

By Dr. Hare Krishna Chandrasekaran

Managing a team or an entire organization is a tough job. To be good at management, one needs to fulfill several requisites. This book talks about some of the important management requisites like motivational skills, sense of judgement, patience, advance planning, scheduling etc., knowing and practicing which, everyone of us can become a good manager. With the past experience of authoring three good-selling books, the author has put down his thoughts and brought together the pieces of the jigsaw namely - management requisite, Lord Krishna’s exemplification, humour and Bhagavad Gita quotation. Doing this for 81 management requisites was a great task in itself. This piece of work was then edited, enhanced and polished by our team, before it could make it to the hands of thousands of young as well as experienced managers and brighten their everyday lives.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

DR.S.CHANDRASEKARAN

B.E. Ph.D(USA)., D.Litt, M.I.E., F.I.V., M.I.I.P.E., L.I.l.S.A

DR. S. CHANDRASEKARAN is an Electrical Engineer from Annamalai University, 1968 batch. He is now a busy Valuer, Chartered Engineer and Lenders’ Engineer for many big projects. He claims that his time is involved in only three things: his business, talking about Krishna and situational humour. He feels that Krishna gives him ideas to write books in which all these three are combined. All of his books are full of humour and his only topics are Bhagavatam, Gita, Mahabharat and naturally Krishna, the original humorist with ever ready pranks & jokes. As per Srimad Bhagavatam 7.5.23-24, there are nine ways of devotion. The author strongly feels that ‘Hasyam’ (humour) should be added as the tenth form of devotion to Vishnu. His maiden venture is the highly successful ‘Kids Laugh & Learn Gita’. His dream and intention is to publish all his books in all Indian languages so that children and elders pan-India can get a taste of his sugar-coated religious books. His fourth & latest Shortest Gita in the World is already a superhit and this is his fifth book, in two years.

HIGHLIGHTS OF FORTHCOMING BOOKS :

LAUGH & LEARN PROJECT MANAGEMENT - THE MAHABHARAT WAY

The author lists out 81 famous failed projects of the world classified as Airport, Shipping, Space etc with the reason for the failure. He proves that Duryodhana had all these defects and Krishna used them to make the project of Mahabharata war a success.

SUCCESS THROUGH LEADERSHIP FOR STUDENTS

Great physicists like Sir C.V.Raman and Dr. Abdul Kalam learnt Physics in their schools. Marie Curie had chemistry in her school syllabus. Did any of our CEOs / CMDs study management in their schools? This book aims at a revolutionary change of filling that gap for our students.

TELL ME WHY KRISHNA.....

For the past 5200 years, children have been having doubts and discussing within themselves as to why Krishna did such and such things and why He did not do some other things. They never could ask the right person, Krishna Himself. Now, the author with his ever-accompanying humour, is listing 81 such doubts and 81 answers realistically.

From the Editor’s Desk…

Managing a team or an entire organization is a tough job. To be good at management, one needs to fulfill several requisites. This book talks about some of the important management requisites like motivational skills, sense of judgement, patience, advance planning, scheduling etc., knowing and practising which, everyone of us can become a good manager.

With the past experience of authoring three good-selling books, the author has put down his thoughts and brought together the pieces of the jigsaw namely - management requisite, Lord Krishna’s exemplification, humour and Bhagavad Gita quotation.

Doing this for 81 management requisites was a great task in itself. This piece of work was then edited, enhanced and polished by our team, before it could make it to the hands of thousands of young as well as experienced managers and brighten their everyday lives.

It is not so popularly known that Lord Krishna had practised several management techniques to carry out missions on this earth and to manage the people involved. The author brings to light, in a story form, the techniques adopted or skills displayed by Lord Krishna at various instances. At the end of the story, he has placed an apt quotation, emphasizing the point under discussion.

In the cartoon section of the book, the author portrays a few hypothetical Managing Directors of organizations. Throughout the book, they are referred to as MDs. By presenting their managerial bloopers, the conversations among the employees and the interaction of these people with others in their lives, the author explains the management requisite or skill in a lighter vein, thus evoking laughter. As a result, this also serves to leave a memory imprint of the topic.

The author has very cleverly picked the slokas from Bhagavad Gita, which are relevant in the context of the discussed management requisites.

All-in-all, this is a must-read book, for all those aspiring to be good managers. And, for those who already are in the top management, it further reinforces their skills.

INTRODUCTION

‘Management’ is a modern concept. In the earlier millenniums, Lord Rama and Lord Krishna did not go to management schools. Were they not managing? Indeed, they were. It is only that, it was not given a formal name. They were practising management without all the jargon we use nowadays.

Management is an extraordinarily vast, unfathomable ocean. Like they say in spirituality, to cross the ocean of life and death cycle of the material world, we need divine help. It would be as easy to cross even this ocean of management, as jumping over the water contained in a calf’s hoof-print, provided we understand how Krishna had practised management.

Krishna’s personality has a million facets (which itself is an understatement), and we can never hope to study the same completely. Yet, we can find solace in the fact that there is help readily available. We have with us, two excellent reference books, Srimad Bhagavatam and Mahabharat, by the all-time greatest author, Veda Vyasa Maharishi, who is Narayana Avatar himself. While Bhagavatam speaks of the different avatars of Krishna or Vishnu, Mahabharat highlights
