Real Leadership Teaches How to Handle Loss

Pt. Vijayshankar Mehta

Earlier the methods of teaching and learning were also different. Splashing water while bathing, hitting each other with pillows, scaring each other by covering them with sheets. There was a psychology behind these games. How to strike, how to survive and how to lead? There was a sense of belonging in it. Learned while playing. Now even learning is being made a game, because machines are dominating.

These days, most parents want to teach their children one thing – leadership. But leadership does not just mean being ahead and climbing up. Real leadership teaches one more thing – what to do when you lose? If we remain fun even in the challenges of life, then even big problems can be overcome by playing. And we will lead in such a way that even if we win, we will not be arrogant and even if we lose, we will not be sad.

Ram had taught leadership through sports. Whenever he played ball with his younger brothers, Bharat always won. The sages have interpreted this passage to mean that leadership is the same in victory and defeat.
