Seeking the Aid of Great Men

தக்க வழிகளை ஆராய்ந்து கூறும் அறிஞரையே உலகம் கண்ணாகக் கொண்டு நடத்தலால், மன்னவனும் அத்தகையாரைக் ஆராய்ந்து நட்புக்கொள்ள வேண்டும்.

கண்ணாக இருந்து எதனையும் கண்டறிந்து கூறும் அறிஞர் பெருமக்களைச் சூழ வைத்துக் கொண்டிருப்பதே ஆட்சியாளர்க்கு நன்மை பயக்கும்

No leader can notice or understand everything on their own. Good advisers study problems and help leaders see them clearly. Their advice can shape choices that affect many people's lives. This makes it important to choose advisers with care, checking their honesty and knowledge.

Personal

Before following money advice, check whether the person understands your needs and knows the subject.

Workplace

A manager chooses a project adviser after checking their experience and honesty.

Family

Parents seek school advice from a teacher who knows their child well.

Society

A town seeks flood advice from people with proven local knowledge.

Decision-making

Before choosing whose advice to follow, check their knowledge and judgment.

Integrity

Choose advisers who tell the truth, even when it is uncomfortable.

Communication

Ask advisers to explain what they found and how they reached their advice.

Leadership

Build a team that helps you notice problems you might miss.

Governance

Check advisers' skills and character before trusting them with public decisions.

Choose people who help you see clearly, not merely agree with you. Check their knowledge and character before relying on their advice.
