A good leader will not undermine the capability or underestimate the ability of anyone.

Also he would be considered a smart manager If
he does not fight or challenge those who are
bigger than him in every sense.
The one who challenges and succeeds during the
challenge at the right time is called valiant.

Foresight for every action is essential
Manager has to have a proper foresight before doing any task/ action.

benefit that was to be derived and work towards the
attainment of the same.

in a successful way, else the task will be either
incomplete or spoilt.

Conclusion Vidur remained undeviated from the path of truth throughout
his life.
He carried out his duties selflessly with full dedication and
loyalty.
The great war of Mahabharata could have been averted if
Dhitrastra could have considered his advices.
Vidur was a master manager and his ideas of management
still holds good.

Vidurneeti tells us how to carry out managerial activities
day to day life.
He lays a great deal of stress on importance of correct
decision making.
He brings out the qualities and practices of wise man and
wise leader.
Vidur put forth the character of a person to be superior
among any other aspect in whatever situation it may be.
Even krishna respected vidura for his proficiency of
knowledge in all spheres.
