Wisdom or Numbers?

Choosing the right resource and using it wisely is the hallmark of a good manager.

Before the Kurukshetra war started, both Duryodhana and Arjuna went to enlist the help of Lord Krishna. Seeing both of them together, Krishna gave them an offer - they can choose either him (though he wont take to arms, only consultancy service) or his army which was very large.

Arjuna unhesitatingly chose Sri Krisha's wisdom and support while Duryodhana was too pleased to get the numbers offered by Sri Krishna's large army. And we know who won.

This episode gives us a clue as to the nature of the effective manager - wisdom over numbers.
