3 Management Lessons from God Narasimha!!
The three management lessons from Narasimha, the fourth incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
1. Respect the hurdles-
No one faced more constraints and process bottlenecks than Narasimha, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Narasimha adhered to every process hurdle and constraint that was imposed. We often see processes as counter intuitive and drag when it comes to our work.
The same way in the management it is very important to understand the hurdles and constraints and accept the reality. We must respect the constraints, learn to work through them and do not allow them to get the better of you.

2. Acknowledge time-
God Narasimha could have easily slayed Hiranyakashapu the moment the Demon
unleashed tyranny. Yet he chose to wait for the right time. Einstein once remarked
“Time exists so that everything doesn’t happen at once.”

The same way in our working lives we often wish if some things just happen at once. We are impatient. The inescapable part of our lives is that the future comes in instalments, we get one moment at a time….and we need to make it worth the while. A lot of products, ideas
and concepts which are too ahead of time or behind it don’t make it.

3. Honor faith-
The world is standing on faith and no one illustrated this better than Narasimha!.
Threatened to death, Prahlada his child devotee states the omnipresence of the God
and says with absolute faith that the Supreme will be present even in the pillar. And
Narasimha honors that faith.
In the same way as working professionals, we are bound to support our colleagues’ commitments to
implicitly honor the faith they repose. We often witness conflicts because someone
committed on a client deadline or delivery and the rest of the organization or support
team fails to honor. When we breach someone’s implicit faith not just do we create a
low faith culture but we completely erode the moral fabric of the relationship. So maintaining faith is very important in business world.
