This very moment is Golden!!!!

May 17, 2012
This very moment is Golden!!!!
When people around me are critical about me  and my activities / work .... I  re-assert myself to be on my  toes to come upto the mark. This is good. Let me not be critical about my critics. Let me realise that every day is an examination .... and I have to pass each day with good marks. This philosophy I am sure has brought lot of positive air into my life. Let me continue to be true to this moment, this hour and this day .... I hope tomorrow and the days that follow will take care of themselves. God is great .... he continues to be besides me all the time day in and day out. I dont think I will ever feel lonely henceforth.

Should Managers be Ethical?
Rajashekhar S. Devarai*
"You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings". – Pearl S.Buck
  1. Often street corner and coffee table discussions end up with resolutions like, 'Ethics is out of fashion", 'being good means being helpless and poor and so on.  These discussions and gossips have no heads no tails.  The topics and temperaments in such deliberations are incidental and transitory in nature.  Many a time these are a strong response to some evident injustice, corruption and supposedly erroneous political decision or policy.  Critical deliberations of people in general are about standards, expectations, deviations and practices.  ..............
  2. Whether we like or nit, human behavior revolves around do's and don'ts, good and bad, desirable and un desirable.  Human civilization from time immemorial has advocated welfare and inclusiveness and ethics irrespective of countries and continents.  We may tend to be averse to being ethical but whether to be ethical or not is beyond all contests.  
  3. How can we then relax a Manager to be out of the purview of ethical considerations?  A Manager is a man or woman who happens to be intelligent, educated, smart, action driven, pro-business and pro-development and who is bent upon maximizing returns for shareholders.  Is it very necessary that he indulges himself / herself in un ethical practices to ensure higher returns?
  4. What made Harvard professors say, "Managers today are among the least trusted members of society" (Khurana, R and Nohria, N : 2008).  This line speaks volumes about the image, status and standing of Manager as a professional.  Why don't people trust Managers?  The answer to this can never be simple and straight. 
  5. The journey towards professionalism is a continuum.  There are no water tight compartments between professions and non-professions.  The question is all about the extent to which the answers to the above questions are affirmative.  Everything including the sincere answers to the questions boils down to winning the trust of not just all share holders and all stake holders but people at large and society at large.  The more the Managers answer the above questions in affirmations more the society at large trusts and makes way for Management towards a full fledged profession comparable to that of Medicine and Law.
  6. It has taken years for medicine and law to emerge as full fledged professions.  There is nothing that stops Management to achieve and bag this coveted title.  Falling in their line with Ethical Orientation will go a long way in professionalizing Management.  "We believe that professionalizing Management would greatly curb mis-conduct, because moral behavior is an integral part of professionals identity – a self image most want strongly to preserve"(Khurana and Nohria, 2008).  Great transformations  are in with regard to value systems concerning money, business and Business Management.
  7. Yes, the day is not very far, when the Manager professes, when the Manager manages by skills, experience and knowledge, when the Manager widens the scope of the much criticized/stereotyped  mysterious word 'MANAGE'.
  8. Let the 'Hippocratic Oath for Managers' drawn by Khuran and Nohria catch the much awaited attention of Managers, Management Gurus, Management Institutions far and wide.

Let us start our new life in 2012 with new found faith, belief and confidence….. then every thing will be beautiful, meaningful, peaceful and luxurious and prosperous.

“The only way to keep from going backward is to keep going forward.  Eternal vigilance is the price of success.  There are three steps, and each one is absolutely essential.  You must first have the knowledge of your power, second the courage to dare, third the faith to do.” _ Charles F Haanel (Sacred Space, Times of India, January 2, 2012).
It is just timely to read this wonderful peace of advice from Charles F Haanel on moving forward. He has emphasized on the role of eternal vigilance in achieving success. He lays stress on having three things to success, One : knowledge of our power, Second : The courage to dare, Third : the faith to do. The three must have things prescribed by Haanel are great and unique …. But the order of listing should be the reverse , i.e., the first should be the Faith to do, second should be The Courage to dare and The third should be Knowledge of our power. Haanel’s prescription is more of practical wisdom.
The achievement and success otherwise should start with Faith, Belief and Confidence….. Let us resolve to step into the new year with eternal vigilance. Happy new year to all. Let us start our new life in 2012 with new found faith,  belief and confidence….. then every thing will be beautiful, meaningful, peaceful and luxurious and prosperous.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012
