Let us recap the learnings from Gita and co-relate them with new age techniques. "Conflict" is the starting point.

"Guna" or "Natural Tendency": Each doer has a natural or the default behaviour employed when they undertake action.

"Yog" or "The Path": Based on our nature, each person selects on a path, a set process towards achieving the goal.

"Sadhana" or "The Journey": We embark on a Journey of Truth, or Action, or Service.

"Phal" or "The Fruit": As a result of the actions, we will get the fruit... Either a Success or a Failure.

"Refinement": Then the loop repeats. We start again, with a new conflict. We keep refining and improving, with application of knowledge. "Perfection" or "Liberation": If we follow the process without getting swayed by distractions, we will achieve perfection, and escape from cycle of rework. That is Six Sigma. In terms of cycle of life, one achieves Liberation or Mokshya, the escape from the loop of birth-death-rebirth.

Effectiveness is the degree to which something is successful in producing desired result. Let us discuss the following in relation to the Gita:

• Process approach of Total Quality Management
• Importance of Collaboration from 7 Habits, and
• Win-win methodology from Theory of Constraints.

Liberation is Ultimate Success or Perfection.

Better results can be achieved if there is Role Clarity. This means defining the roles & responsibilities for everyone. Each person is assigned tasks based on his knowledge, skill, experience, and position. This is the structure or organisation of the team, and it is usually like a pyramid with layers.

An Individual, a team or the whole organisation acts to produce results. But perfection cannot be achieved in the first run. The PDCA is the key concept in TQM for continual improvement and achieving perfection.

How to escape the loop of Think, Act, Repeat? The way is renunciation of Temptation & Anger. Performing action without attachment. This will ultimately lead to Supreme Success.
