Yudhisthira, eldest of the much celebrated Pandavas, was the ruler of Hastinapur and a predecessor to Parikshit, the son

One can never write enough about Emperor Yudhisthira, for his eminence as a righteous, self-sufficient being and a ruler extraordinaire surpasses ones ability to confine these characteristics in a post! Yet I am attempting to list down some of his qualities which are very essential to possess in today's world.
Adherence to Truth- 'Truth always triumphs', as the adage goes. A truthful person is always reliable and sought after.It is always better to speak the truth than manipulate and get caught in a way much worse than thought of. A company that delivers its promise is always regarded over its counterparts which fail to do so.The employee of an organization which believes in transparency with no hidden laws and practices, tends to remain loyal, thus helping the organization reduce its resources in recruitment and replacement.
Objectivity- This is a great virtue, acquired rather than inherited. When Jayadratha was brought to Yudhisthira's feet by Arjuna and Bhima after punishing him for kidnapping Draupadi, Yudhisthira made sure that he punished him adequately. However, he did not order his brothers to kill him as Jayadratha had a family to look after and his folks dependent on him. If Yudhisthira wished, he could have, at the fit of rage ordered his brothers to take his life for demeaning their wife in their absence, yet he thought of the consequences of such an act and did not let his personal bias affect his decisions.
During an interview, it is essential that an HR Manager be objective and not give way for preconceived notions to affect their decisions. Sometimes, the HR Manager may tend to relate to the interviewee or have some traits in common with the latter; but this is no assurance of the employee being the right candidate for the job.
Patient- Yudhisthira was aware that the outbreak of a war between the Pandavas and Kauravas was destined. Yet he waited for the right time and channelized his and his brothers' wrath into diligent preparation for the war during their period of exile. Had he shown any haste, the outcome would have been different and so the story of the Mahabharatha.
A salesperson works on targets for which he interacts with a large number of customers. He does not always get the desired response from his customers. At such times, it is very important for him to be patient and continue to work hard, without losing mind or hope until he is successful in achieving the desired results.
Analytical- Yudhisthira was never judgemental or jumped into conclusions, but instead made a judgement and acted upon after analyzing a situation thoroughly well. A consultant is expected to do a 360 degree analysis of a problem or situation and come up with solutions conducive to growth of a company. Apparence is not always a state of being actual; situations and even people are not always the way they appear at first. It is very important to make a calculated judgement and take action(s) after complete analysis of a situation.
Knowledgeable- Yudhisthira, the name itself means 'the one who is stable in a war'! Yudhisthira was an adept spearman. Besides warfare, his knowledge in the fields of spirituality, philosophy, psychology and political science among others are testified in the texts. His intellectual discussions with Nahusha (cursed to become a serpent), Yaksha and Dharmaraaj (during the Svargarohana Parva) exemplify his immense knowledge in various fields. Chanakya says, "An educated person is respected anywhere he goes." It is indeed true as we all tend to look up to people who are knowledgeable and want to learn from them. Knowledge brings a person out of the darkness of ignorance.
Adaptable- Despite being royal heir to the throne of Hastinapur, Yudhisthira and his brothers spent almost half their lives away from the kingdom, in the wilderness of the forests. Yudhisthira, along with his brothers and wife, wore deerskin, ate minimally, practiced asceticism and roamed around different jungles and mountain ranges, while still managing to make associations with learned Rishis and celestial beings, native to these places. He knew to make the best of the two worlds.
In a competitive world, one may need to travel across destinations, work with different organizations and come across people of various nationalities, ethnicities and cultures. An adaptable professional is always sought after in the corporate world. Likewise, adaptability has its role to play in managing work-life balance.
