17. EXAMPLES FROM RAMAYANA Motivation
& SWOT Analysis
One of the most obvious incidences, in which management were used is very clearly
visible is that of Hanuman going to Lanka. His mission was to locate Sita there and give
her Lord Ram's message. When it became clear that Sita was in Lanka, Jambvant asked
Hanuman to go there. He helped him in realizing his true potential and motivated him to
go in the enemy's camp. Once mentally prepared for the job and reached there, first thing
which Hanuman did was to completely analyze the situation in Lanka. He did a complete
study about the Lankan's, assessing their strengths and weaknesses, the various threats
and opportunities which he had in the enemy's camp.
