The moment we refer to the words ‘Best Management Gurus’ the first thing which comes to our mind is that it might be related to some famous personalities. In-fact some of us might have already thought of a few names known to us. The reason for this is our assumptions and understanding based on the preconceived notions present in our brain. This is an outcome of the things we have learnt throughout our life, impact of the environment on our thinking process and our past experiences. However this book is an attempt to learn management from various elements of nature i.e. Plants, Animals, Birds and other creatures. It is rightly said and also believed by all of us that ‘Learning is a continuous and never ending process, if we try to learn with an
open mind’. So let’s stick to our words!
The most important aspect about all living creatures apart from human beings is that they do not have any formal education like we do and they still manage their lives so well!
Today’s age is full of manmade developments. It can be termed as transformation from ‘Natural Age’ to ‘Artificial Age’. The nonhuman living creatures are still in their ‘Natural Age’ because they are not materially developed like us. This has proved to be a more effective base to study management principles from them because they represent the nature in its original form.
