In 1576, a big army of Akbar led by Kunwar Man Singh (who later became Raja Man Singh) met Maharana Pratap's men at Haldighati. Maharan Pratap was riding his famous horse, Chetak.
Maharana Pratap and his few men fought valiantly, but his army was no match to the numerical strength of Man Singh's army. When defeat looked imminent, Maharana Pratap's general, Jhala Mansingh, convinced Maharana Pratap to change the clothes and escape from Haldighati as he had bigger mission to accomplish.
Pratap agreed and escaped from the battlefield. Jhala Mansingh fought well, but was killed on the battlefield.
Lesson: Don't be rigid. One should be flexible in entertaining new ideas and suggestions from the team members, and take corrective actions if convinced.
