During my school day's One of our Teachers used to say
" Those who sits in the Front Rows would become Doctors , Engineers and
Civil Servants. 8Middle Bencher's will
be in Government Service and Backbenchers will become Politicians and
These Back Benchers will rule both Front and Middle Rows". We laughed at
his statement because he was very funny guy. We didn't take his words
seriously.
The Day I stepped into the Corporate World I felt what He
actually wanted to say. So True. I bet that everyone has realised this. But
Nobody will accept this , because we are surrounded by corporate ethics,
corporate culture, corporate vision, corporate mission and all such
types of high funda corporate words.
Now come to so called "Bad Boy's of Corporate
". Who are they? Do They speak filthy language? Do They behave as a
stranger to you ? Let's find them.
You must have come across many people in your life , whom
you thought very average, very mediocre in their academics. Your class
teachers thought that they would never shine in their career , still they are
more successful than you.
I remember one of my friends in school day's who used to
study in the same class but could able to complete his education on time.
When we left the school he was in his 10th Standard. Now He is
working in a reputed MNC as Vice President and earning 5 times more than me and
having a more established life than me.
He used to skip classes , never very serious about his
career and did all the stuffs which he felt good about it. His Parents were
after him for studies, Teachers spent hours to mentored him. But everybody
failed. So Does He Termed as “Bad Boy's ". Everyone will raise his hands
in favor of me.
I want to cite one more example to make things clear. I
had one more friend in my class who was one of the class topper, well mannered.
So called "Good Boy's" of the class. Present Scenario he is not doing
anything. He did 2 to 3 Jobs but couldn't able to succeed. Tried
his Luck in Business, but failed.
So why this 2nd boy failed despite of having Engineering
Degree and Good Marks. The reason is that First Person has some Bad Elements in
Life like :- "Go To Altitude ", "Not nice or right to
everyone",
" Not think too much about what people will
think". " Diplomatic Thinker". " Not to trust anybody
easily ".
The above cited Elements are not welcomed by the Society.
No Business School taught this elements to you.
We have been taught about the Big Fund a of Organizational
Behavior , Individual Behavior , Group Dynamism
Etc. Does It really works in dealing with day to day
situation in Corporate World.
I want to share you an incident of Maruti Suzuki Plant.
The company was going through the Labour unrest dispute regarding "Disparity
of wages various units", " Enforcement of Japanese Culture to Indian
Workers". "Restricting to form New Labor Union ".
On 18th July, 2011, the General Manager Mr Awanish
Kumar Dev was with union officials to discuss disciplinary
matters alone.when he was attacked. He had no chance of escape; his
attackers broke his legs, so he was trapped inside” and died in the fire set by
agitating workers.
He was one of the Top Hr professional of the country. So,
what went wrong ? Where does this Group Dynamism, Leadership skills
played. Nowhere it worked. He was very much confident and Trust about his
Team. He didn't think agitating Mob could kill him that's why he went alone
without Security guard and paid the price.
On the other side of the coin he could have save his life
if he could go with Security. If he didn't Trust the Team whom he
recruited.
We come across various situations in our professional and
personal life where our close and trustworthy persons betray us . This is the
well known fact.
Recently we all came across an incident Of Mr.
Vijaypath Singhania the man behind the famous apparel brand Raymonds. He has to
lead a life of a begger because he transferred all his Company's share to his
Son, and his Son betrayed him.
Mr Singhania couldn't imagined in his dream that his son
would do this to him. But this is reality of Life. The person whom
you trust , whom you like always betray you.
During Annual Appraisal process you always find some undeserved candidates get promoted to
Top positions, and we wonder how he gets into it. And your Boss always
say that you are good not extraordinary. You don't have X factor in you that's
why you have not been promoted. If you closely monitor this X factor Candidates
then you will find that this X factor Candidates went through the other way to
reach at the Top. The X Factor candidate took some Diplomatic and Smart Moves
which took him to the next level. For using this Smart and Diplomatic Move the
X factor candidate had to bring some Bad Elements from his Kitty ( which I
cited in the above Paragraph). The X Factor Candidate had to defeat his colleague
either by hook or by crook to reach his Destination.
