Hi,
A leader has an important role to play for the success of any organization. The way he governs himself and his organization is critical for it survival and growth. Good governance is a must if you want to build your organization in a sustainable manner. Valmiki describes in Ramayana in detail what Rama thinks about good governance.

Leadership That Governs for Success
When Bharata went to the forest, met his elder brother Rama there, fell at his feet, and sought his forgiveness, Rama lifted him, embraced him, kissed him on his head, and inquired from Bharata various things including the way the kingdom was governed as given below:
1. Are you discussing the matters of governance with the ministers?
2. There may be no loss if a thousand fools are allowed to leave. But not even one person of wisdom should be made to leave. It is enough if there is one minister who has good knowledge, character, and courage. It’s all progress for the king.
3. You should secretly monitor the people handling critical roles & responsibilities.
4. You must also note whether the ministers are obedient and loyal to you always.
5. The General should be brave, intelligent, and loyal to the king.
6. Are you giving good food and right salary in a timely manner to the army? Hope there is no delay. If the salaries and other benefits are delayed, they will be troubled. Gradually, they develop a negative opinion about the king. And, that will lead to a disaster.
7. Have you employed right people as messengers & secret agents only after testing whether they have the requisite qualities?
8. You must keep an eye on the kings who lost the battles with you.
9. Every day, you must appear before your people well dressed.
10.Though the king has all the rights on his kingdom, he doesn’t have the freedom to live the way he likes. He should live like a role model. He should have discipline in practicing the rules and regulations. He can’t show excuses to break the rules. Only truth should be the foundations for the power to rule.

Rama Rajyam! Yes it is possible. Let us understand and emulate the true qualities of a leader. It is this kind of leadership that governs and builds the organizations to last forever. 
With love and regards,
Siva
