This line is from Virat Parva of Mahabharat which says that
Pandavas have the common motive and they have unanimously
done it.
The Vision and mission
The vision and mission plays an important role in the goal
seting and the delivering the required. The vision of Pandavas
was defned as they have to win the war. They did not have the
greed of the state or the resource. People understood that Pan-
davas are fghting the war of their status and their dignity. They
have amalgamated their dignity with the dignity of the people
hence they have got the support of the masses which is the rea-
son that the soldiers of Pandaves were highly motivated and
they were fghting their own war. The Kauravas have the per-
sonal motives and lack of vision. The personal motives have not
been able to percolated among their soldiers. The vision of
Duryodhana was very limited and he was greedy, his greed can
be seen from this shloka.

In this shloka Duryodhan says he wont give any villages or any
wealth to Pandavas and let it be decided by the war.
The Ramayana and its strategic management
lessons
Ramayana foremost presses upon the values and value system.
The value system what a company must have to lay grounds for
strategies. The frm strategies which are based upon the unique
value system must be integrated upon the system and functions
of an organization.
Taking people together
Ram exists for Ayodhya; Ayodhya does not exist for Ram. And
so when Ram is asked to choose between Ayodhya and Sita,
Ram chooses Ajodhya not Sita. But it is quite the opposite for
Ravan. Lanka exists for him, and he refuses to part with Sita
even when Lanka is burned and its residents killed. Ram respect
people whether he is is big or small. His respect for people can
be seen that he had formed an army with the help of monkeys
and apes. He had also motivated Ahilya and Sabari who were
the women from secluded and downtrodden. Ram had motivat-
ed them and let them realized their values to succeed in their
life and to achieve their destination in life. Ram's ideology of
righteousness and abiding with the people has helped him to
achieve his target.
Utilizing the resource and managing
Ram was the right kind of manager who has utilized the re-
sources with optimum possible way. Ram has shown his mana-
gerial skills during war with Ravana. The most important was
building of the bridge over the sea on the way to Lanka. Every
body was thinking their own way how to cross the sea but Ram
took 3 days in meditated and then suggested that they can go
with the creating a bridge over the sea. All have abided by the
same and he had been supported by two of his army men Nal-
Nila who were very talented in making bridge. The bridge has
been ready within few days. Ram and his brother Lakshman
have also trained the tribals who were referred as apemen in
Ramayana the epic.
