UdyamGita

The entrepreneur should know that he is an enabler, supporter, and mobilizer. He should enable his team to work towards the goals by reducing his involvement in day to day activities. This can be a gradual process, but one has to aim for it. Otherwise, the entrepreneur will be absorbed by daily operations, leaving no bandwidth to see the big picture and take up strategic interventions.

The organization is bound to have people from different backgrounds, made up of different dominant gunas, with diverse experiences and perspectives. This diversified workforce can be a unique strength when they come together to achieve a common goal. Their diverse views, experiences, and expectations help the product or service gain the best features and offerings in the market, making the organization a leader.

Krishna delivers a liberating insight. Actions are carried out by Prakṛiti—the material system—while the conscious self remains a non-doer, a witness.

True vision arises when one sees diversity operating within a single underlying system, and understands that expansion and creation emerge from this unified source.

This realization dissolves ego and reveals collective intelligence at work.

Business Insight

For an entrepreneur, this is a call to step into the role of enabler.

The founder must recognize:

• The organization performs the actions.
• Teams execute processes.
• Systems deliver outcomes.

The entrepreneur’s role is to mobilize, support, and enable, not to be trapped in daily execution. While this transition can be gradual, it must be intentional. Otherwise, founders get consumed by operations and lose the strategic altitude required to steer the enterprise.

Leadership Lesson

Krishna’s second insight is equally powerful: unity in diversity.

Organizations naturally consist of people from:

• Different backgrounds
• Different dominant gunas
• Different experiences and worldviews

When aligned to a shared vision, this diversity becomes a competitive advantage. Varied perspectives sharpen decision-making, enrich product design, and anticipate a broader spectrum of customer needs.

Homogeneity creates comfort; diversity creates market leadership—when guided well.

Key Takeaways

• Entrepreneurs are enablers, not executors.
• Stepping back from operations creates space for strategy.
• Diverse teams, when aligned, outperform uniform ones.
• Different viewpoints refine products and services.
• True leadership orchestrates systems and people, not tasks.
