Leader as a Catalyst

As per Krishna in the Mahabharata - A leader must be strong and ruthless and at the same time must be subtle of skill, openhanded and great hearted. Unlike Balarama who decides to be neutral Krishna knew great issues were at stake and neutrality meant escapism. The word Krishna means centre and he makes things happen.
