‘Thirukkural’, also called as ‘Kural’, is a timeless universal Tamil Classic written by ‘Thiruvalluvar’ about 2000 years back. ‘Valluvar’ is also one of the many other popular names he is known by.
Kural has 3 parts which talk about Righteousness, Wealth and Family Life. It consists of 1330 verses - couplets spread across 133 chapters. Thirukkural was written in Kural Venba a literary format known for its simplicity and brevity.
The second part of Kural, consisting of 70 chapters on Economics, starts with the first citizen of the country i.e. The King, in olden days.
It goes on and on to discuss about Ministers, their qualities, etc. There are chapters on Planning, Staffing, Communication, Delegation, et al!
What Thiruvalluvar attributed to Kings as desired governance traits and for Ministers of ancient times for their roles and responsibilities perfectly suits very well to today’s CEOs and Executives!
