Plan Less Monkey, Gutless Image, Human Less King and Queenless Hive

'Create high performance individuals through values based excellence' Dr V V Rao

Plan less monkey: A monkey which puts its paw into the narrow neck of a jug, and having seized a handful of nuts will not open its fist for fear of losing what it holds, and therefore perishes.

Gut less image: People play at generosity of spirit and all that stuff. Such generosity of spirit and sensibility are like the nobility and sensibility of a lady who faints when she sees a chick being killed: she is so kind-hearted that she can’t look at blood, but enjoys eating the chicken served up with Indian spice and sauce.

Only for the purpose of securing a magnified image, the so called leader’s management and habit of winning coinciding with people’s inclinations, allurement by the grandeur of the preparations, and the expenditure those preparations and the need of obtaining advantages to compensate for that expenditure and the intoxicating culture.

Human less King: That is, discipline, idleness, ignorance, cruelty, corruption, and drunkenness. And in spite of all this it is the highest class, respected by everyone. All the kings, who kills most people receives the highest rewards. ‘They meet, as we shall meet tomorrow, to murder one another; they kill and wound tens of thousands, and then have thanksgiving services for having killed so many people, and they announce a victory, supposing that the more people they have killed the greater their achievement.

Aim Less Leader: Moment by moment the events are imperceptibly shaping itself, and at every moment of this continuous, uninterrupted shaping of events the Leader is in the midst of a most complex play of intrigues, worries, contingencies, authorities, projects, counsels, threats, and deceptions and is continually obliged to reply to innumerable questions addressed to him, which constantly conflict with one another.

Queen Less Hive: In a queen less hive no life is left though to a superficial glance it seems as much living as other hives. The bees circle round a queen less hive in the hot beams of the midday sun as gaily as around the living hives; from a distance it smells of honey like the others, and bees fly in and out in the similar way. But one has only to observe that hive to realize that there is no longer any life in it. The bees do not fly in the same way, the smell and the sound that meet the bee keeper are not the same. There are no longer sentinels sounding the alarm with their abdomens raised, and ready to die in defense of the hive.

A lesson from great history - French invasion of Russia:

Mikhail Kutuzov (1745 – 1813) was a Field Marshal of the Russian Empire. He served as one of the finest military officers and diplomats of Russia under the reign of three Romanov Tsars: Kutuzov contributed much to the military history of Russia and is considered to have been one of the best Russian generals.

Question to the council was: ‘Are we to abandon Russia’s ancient and sacred capital without a struggle, or are we to defend it?’

There was a frown on every face and only Kutuzov’s angry grunts and occasional cough broke the silence. All eyes were gazing at him. ‘Russia’s ancient and sacred capital!’ he suddenly said, repeating question, the question is that of saving Russia. Is it better to give up Moscow without a battle, or by accepting battle to risk losing the army as ‘Well, gentlemen, I see that it is I who will have to pay for the broken crockery,’ said he, and rising slowly he moved to the table. ‘Gentlemen, I have heard your views. Some of you will not agree with me. But I,’ ‘by the authority entrusted to me by my Sovereign and country, order a retreat.’ ‘It is disgraceful to run away from danger; only cowards are running away from Moscow,’ they were told.

Under Kutuzov's command, the Russian army faced the French army at the Battle of Borodino and later counter-attacked once Napoleon retreated from Moscow, pushing the French out of the Russian land.
