On Leadership

राजा प्रजाहितेऽरतः ।

Rājā prajā-hite rataḥ.

The king is absorbed in the welfare of his people.

Chanakya's ideal ruler was not a power-accumulator but a steward. He argued that a king who served his people's flourishing became indispensable; one who served his own comfort became expendable. Leadership is a function of whose wellbeing you optimise for.
