Chanakya's 7 Secrets of Leadership

leadership guru par excellence. The treasure of his teachings can be
found in his book, The Arthashastra, which deals with good governance
based on ideal leadership.
The concept of the ideal nation in The
Arthashastra, called Saptanga, holds that there are seven pillars of a
kingdom: Swami, Amatya, Janpada, Durg, Kosha, Dand, Mitra iti Prakritya.
For centuries, Indian rulers have used this concept as a model of
successful government.
