CHANGING RELATIONS AT WORKPLACE

PRESENTATION BY :

SH. D. BHATTACHARYYA, ADVISOR (L&D), IFFCO LTD.

Lord Macaulay’s address to the British Parliament on 2nd Feb. 1835

“I have travelled across the length and breadth of India

and I have not seen one person who is a begger, such

wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral

values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we

would ever conquer this country, unless we break the

very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and

cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we

replace her old and ancient education system, her

culture, for if the indians think that all that is foreign is

good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-

esteem, their native culture and they will become what

we want them, a truly dominated nation”

ON INTELLECT, REASON V. HEART/ EMOTIONS/ FEELINGS

‘And certainly we should take care not to make the intellect our God; it has, of course, powerful muscles ,but no personality. It cannot lead; it can only serve; … The intellect has a sharp eye for methods, and tools, but it is blind to ends & values.’ …Sir Einstein

11

ON INTELLECT, REASON V. HEART/ EMOTIONS/ FEELINGS

The intellect is blind & can’t move of itself… It is an inactive, secondary help; the real help is feeling, love. Intellect is like limbs without the power of locomotion. It is only when feeling enters & gives them motion that they

move & work on others… It is the heart that takes one to the highest place, where intellect can never reach. It goes beyond intellect & reaches what is called inspiration’.

.…Swami Vivekananda

12

ON INTELLECT, REASON V. HEART/ EMOTIONS/ FEELINGS

• Even more important than knowledge is the life of emotions. Given knowledge and competence combined with folly, there can be no certainty of survival. It follows that unless man increase wisdom as much as knowledge, increase of knowledge will be increase of sorrow.

…Bertrand Russell

Leadership Values 1. The real test of a leader lies in holding

widely different people together, along the line of their common sympathies. And this can only be done unconsciously, never by trying.

2. ‘It is selfishness that we must seek to eliminate’. I find whenever I have made a mistake in my life, it has always been ‘self’ centered into the calculation. Where ‘self’ has not been involved, my judgment has gone straight to the mark.’

TRANSFORMING LIVES

15

Leadership Values (continued)…

3. It is a very difficult task to take on the role of a leader. One must be a servant of servants, and must accommodate a thousand minds. There must not be a shade of jealousy or selfishness, then only you are a leader.

4. ‘Know partiality to be the chief cause of all evil.’

TRANSFORMING LIVES

16

Leadership Values (continued)…

5. ‘It is absolutely necessary to the work that I should have the enthusiastic love of as many as possible, while I myself remain entirely impersonal. Otherwise jealousy and quarrels will break up everything. A leader must be impersonal…..’

6. Do not try to lead your brothers, but serve them. The brutal mania for leading has sunk many a great ship in the waters of life.’

TRANSFORMING LIVES

17

Leadership Values (continued)…

7. ‘Be the servant of all, and do not try in the least to govern others…. Nobody will come to help you if you put yourself forward as a leader…. Kill ‘self’ first if you want to succeed.’

8. He who is the servant of all is their true master. He never becomes a leader in whose love there is a consideration of high or low. He whose love knows no end, and never stops to consider high or low, has the whole world lying to his feet.

TRANSFORMING LIVES

18

Leadership Values (continued)…

9. Not a single one of Lord Krishna’s deeds was done for himself. Every one of them was for the good of others. A true leader should follow the path of Lord Krishna.

Swami Vivekananda

Rituals and Dandaniti Rituals • It is a practical process of developing people’s

behaviour for collective consciousness. Dandaniti • It implies the provision for reprimand or

punishment for acts of indiscipline by followers. • It is like when the hand is beating, heart is

weeping • This is like Mother-Child relationship when the

child is beaten by the mother for doing wrong cause.

Charisma – Charisma of the Leader binds the followers.

2. An effect at present must have had a cause in the past.

3. The effect returns to the source of the cause.

4. Each cause produces its own effect, there is no mutual cancellation.

5. Like cause, like effect.

6. This law of cause and effect applies as much to a whole nation, a community, an organisation, a family as to an individual.
