About This Chapter
Chapter 14 teaches entrepreneurs that every person, including the founder, is driven by three forces—clarity (sattva), passion (rajas), and inertia (tamas).
Business success depends on recognizing which force is active in people and situations.
Great entrepreneurs do not judge behavior; they read it and respond wisely.
They use clarity to build culture, passion to drive execution, and systems to control negativity.
They do not get emotionally trapped by praise, failure, or people’s reactions.
Over time, they learn to use the guṇas without being ruled by them.
When dedication to purpose becomes unwavering, leadership becomes calm and powerful.
Chapter 14 ultimately shows that mastery of self leads to mastery of business.
