Swami – The Leader – CEO/Chairman
Who is a leader? Why does Chanakya place so much emphasis on a leader? Most of us think of a leader as a person with a particular designation and post – the Chairman or CEO of a company, the captain of a sports team, the dean of an educational institution or the general of an army. 
These are leaders no doubt. However, certain other attributes are required to make one a “great leader”, a leader who is productive, result oriented, inspiring.
One may get a leadership chair(position) by heredity, power or influence. But if one is not capable, the chair will not keep him.
Leadership position itself comes with great responsibilities and handling that reposibility you will need leadership qualities.
Therefore in this you will get to know what are the qualities of an ideal leader and how anyone can build that qualities

Amatya:- The Ministers – Managers
In Kautilya’s Arthashastra, the importance of a minister is emphasized repeatedly. In fact, Chapter 8 in Book 1 is titled Amatyautpatti, meaning “appointment of ministers”. Who is an amatya? He can be called a mantri or a minister. His counterpart in the corporate world is the manager.
There is a difference, yet there are similarities between leaders and managers. Depending on the context, every leader is a manager for someone and every manager is a leader for someone else. Let us take an example. The CEO of a company is the leader.
If the vice-president (VP) of the company manages a part ot the work for the CEO, the VP becomes the minister or manager. However, the VP is also a leader to his team members.
His subordinates, such as the assistant vice-presidetent, becomes his ministers.

Janpada:- The Market
Till the last man in the last village is not happy, the work of government is not done, says Chanakya. Similarly, till every customer is not satisfy, the work of organization is not complete.
The janpada are the citizens of the country. Without them the country is not complete.
 In the context of corporate world, Janpada referes to customers or clients. The prime duty of a comapny is to serve its customer.
Gandhiji also put it well: A customer is the most important visitor on our premises.
He is not dependent on us.We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our business. He is the purpose of it. So managing your customers is the first most important thing every leader should do.

Durg:- The Fortified City – Infrastructure
The fourth pillar consist of forts which was very important in the ancient time. Forts were located at strategic points, such as mountaintops or the coast, and helped the king to keep a lookout for enemies.
Every operations of the kings were directly connected and handled from his fort. Every organisation need to have well thought out infrastructure that includes both the physical and digital realms. So Durga deals with enabling people to perform by taking out obstructions.
It is about facilitating people with work; which the right tools and the right infrastructure.It is also involved ensuring Data integrity.

The finance maintains the kingdom and helps in its growth and expansion. Every leader should manage his finance very efficiently. Chanakya says, the ‘koshadhyaksha’ or finance head , must bring daily financial reports and inform the king about financial condition. ‘Artha’ is wealth and ‘shastra’ is scripture.

Danda:- The Army – Employees
