It goes on and on to discuss about Ministers, their qualities, etc. There are chapters on Planning, Staffing, Communication, Delegation, et al!

Let us have a look at a few sample Kurals discussed in this book ‘Trusting & Entrusting’.
Valluvar’s prescriptions are highly pragmatic on choosing employees. We all know that getting an ideal employee with only good qualities is not practically possible. Valluvar advises to evaluate a person’s strengths and weaknesses, and choose the one who has fewer negative qualities and more positive qualities.
