Running a Corporate Entity is so tough
nowadays especially with those who don't understand what is this
business all about. After all why do we earn, is it not making a
materialistic earning, it is all about earning a living. But no one
understands living in itself is a movement which no knowledge can buy
as it is with a printed paper called money. I can see a lot of
youngsters are dumped to the society as professionals but who is not
making a living. Even though they earn money their day to day life
ends up with conflicts in everything – in relationships, in
profession and everywhere. I often use to feel this is because the
education been provided to them is merely for creating academics who
are none other than money making machines. I cannot see a glimpse of
humanity in that.
It was a time when I imposed the zen
way of teaching practicality into life, to the job tasks in the team
I am leading for my project. I always use to ask the people to
experience and learn. It is one such event I asked my team members to
prepare a practical feasibility report on what they are doing on
their own. I always insisted to have a real genuine quest in any job
they do. Only then one can be able to find out what exactly they are
doing, where they are now and where they are supposed to go. That
young boy one of my team member after my repeated meets about
corrections in the report wanted to see me.
He : Sir, I want to ask you something.
Me: Yes, my friend. You are free to ask
anything, if at all I have answers about it.
He : Sir, it is nothing personal. I
just wanted to talk about the project. When we will get into real
work sir?
Me: What, isnt it what you are doing is
your real work?
He: No Sir, I meant we are actually
wasting time to prepare report like this. Our project is all about to
create an output and we have already heavy jobs to do. Is it
necessary at all to do the report now, that too on our own?
Me: Do you feel that preparation of
this report is irrelevant? Is that not a part of your project? Don't
you realize this will help you further develop your skillset?
He: No sir. I didn't said it as
irrelevant. I feel it is not extremely necessary as we have acquired
all our skillset while we are studying. We had two exams in our
school. One is theory and another is practical. This report seems to
be a theory for me. I am just wondering when would we get into
practicals.
