Gandhi is the best example of an effective manager and an extraordinary leader. It is high time, we analyzed his principles and qualities to understand his management style. The new-found faith in Gandhian principles means good for the country and businesses, only if interpreted correctly.

"He broke tradition. He understood that we couldn't fight the British with force. So, he decided to change the game in a fundamentally different way. He unleashed the power of ordinary people, inspired women and men in the country to fight under a unifying goal. Resource constraint did not bother him. He aimed at a common agenda: Poorna Swaraj. That was the motivation," says Prahalad, a consultant.

This is because ethical management and value-based management requires clear-cut base of ethics and values. Even today business gurus are talking about Gandhiji's principles, to consider Gandhiji as role model of nation. But application of Gandhiji's principles in today's management is the matter of discussion or debate.
