KEY MANAGERSKRISHNA - The Greatest Crisis Manager the world hasever seen

YUDHISTHIRA - Low-key strategist.

On the first day of the War, he played a Master game. Went over to the enemy side to seek blessings from Elders. In reality hemade a covert deal with them, wherein all of them agreed to helphim and unfolded the secrets of defeating them.

While coming back, he took a calculated risk. He made an offer toall the assembled people to change sides if they wanted to. Heknew well of the lack of cohesiveness among the Kauravas.Yuyutsu, son of Dhrtarashtra crossed over to the Pandavas. Thisexposed the weakness of the Kauravas for all to see.



TEAM SPIRITTeamwork succeeds where Individual effortfails.

KAURAVAS -No team spirit-They all fought their individual wars.

Bhishma : For his Vow to protect the throneHastinapur.

Drona and Kripa : They owed loyalty to the throne.

Shalya : Simply cheated by Duryodhana to bethere. Was originally a pandava ally.

Karna : To prove his mantle against Arjuna.Friendship for Duryodhana.



TEAM SPIRITPANDAVAS-One team

- One Goal

As men, they all had huge respect for Krishna and Yudhisthira While as warriors they were in complete awe of

Bhima and Arjuna.

Most of them were close relatives – cousins, brother-in-laws, father-in-laws. More than that they all werepart of the decision-making process. Mahabharatawas their “common” war.



LEADERSHIPKAURAVAS- Centralized leadership.- One Head of Army at a time with supreme

authority of 11 divisions of army.

PANDAVAS - Distributed leadership.

-Seven commanders for the seven divisions.(1 mancommand 1 akshouhini each).

Dhrshtadymna- Supreme CommanderArjuna – Commander in Chief

Krishna-charioteer and counselor



WOMEN EMPOWERMENTKAURAVAS- Patriarchal structure-Bhishma, Drona, Kripa,

Dhratarashtra, Vidur, Shakuni,Duryodhana, Karna,Duhsasana

No women in the decision making process.

Gandhari retreated to the Inner Chambers. Nobodylistened to her.

PANDAVAS- Matriarchal Structure.

KuntiKunti was the authority supreme for the Pandavas. ““Whatever my mother says is Dharma to me”Whatever my mother says is Dharma to me” : Yudhisthira. DraupadiDraupadi was a companion in whatever the Pandavas

did. She had a big role in all the decision making.

Without her the Pandavas would have most probablyreclined to the forests.
