Bhishma Pitamah in Mahabharat epic, is known to have done only one blunder in life - he didn't get angry at the right moment, when Draupdi was being humiliated and disrobed. Bhishma Pitamah wasn’t weak. He was disciplined, principled, formidable.
Jatayu in Ramayana, is known for one virtue in his life - he got angry at the right time, when Sita was being kidnapped by Ravan and he tried to save her. Jatayu wasn’t powerful enough to win.
When the time came, both died.
But, Bhishma Pitamah died on a bed of arrows and Jatayu died in the lap of Lord Rama.
The Vedas state that anger turns into a blessing when it is done for the cause of ethics and morality, and on the other hand, tolerance may turn into a Sin when it cannot safeguard ethics and morality.
In context with leadership in business:
anger = moral courage under pressure.
Healthy leadership anger shows up as:
Clear, firm intervention (not rage)
Immediate boundary-setting
Willingness to be unpopular for what’s right
Toxic anger is ego-driven, while, Righteous anger is value-driven.
In case of, Bhishma, silence becomes legacy, while in case of Jatayu, intent and action outweigh outcome.
Bhishma teaches us that experience without intervention is not wisdom. Jatayu teaches us that even a losing stand can be the highest form of leadership.
