Humility is powerful tool

Boss is boss. My boss was having the ideology that Being a manager, you need to be aggressive. This is an old stereotype method. As I always believed in humility, I was perfect for him. I used to do everything he used to allocate for me within the specified time. But when I complete the task, he used to get all appreciation from his seniors. But he never passed that appreciation to me. But I never considered this as a problem. I always kept thinking positive that I never worked for appreciation but for learning and survival. But whenever there is a single mistake, it was pointed to me by him. Sometimes, I used to get irritated by this behavior. But I never projected it that way to him. This culture is so popular that many companies look at it as a successful management strategy which I disagree with completely.

To be successful in real terms you need to win people. Without people, success has no meaning. To win people you need to believe in humility. This is the only way to keep success ongoing and not temporary. 
I used to visit daily at the customer end. I used to visit every line of assembly wherever my company’s material would be used. I was required to see how much materials would be required up to the next day. Then I was required to resolve any quality issues faced by the operators online due to our part. Initial days, operators used to start shouting at me due to issues and the behavior of the previous colleague who was responsible for this job. I always used to listen and solve the issue as soon as possible. I always told facts to them. After few days they all started behaving not only normal but very much friendly to me. Humility plays a great role in achieving a win over people.

Humanity Pays Off

It was just another day. After a very hectic workload in the company, I was very much tired. At that time there were mobiles but not with common people. The Internet had started its influence and was capturing human beings like the British had captured India in history. Being an engineer, now I think you waste half of your youth life just thinking of job search, job change over, and its frustration. Unknowingly I started my journey on the same path.  Having tired though, I went to café… no..no not café coffee day. I went to an internet cafe to search and apply for jobs. This had become my daily routine to go to a cyber café and search for a job.  One fortunate day, I got a call for an interview. It was in some area in Pimpri Chinchwad. I was needed to go by city bus. As usual, I lied to my boss and got leave for health reasons. I went for the interview and it was good. But they told me that they will inform me results in one or two days. I was hopeful. With lots of th...

Forgiveness is happiness

I came back from the office at 11 pm. I was very tired and wanted rest. Today only I had salary and cash was there in my wallet. After freshen up, I just had dinner and slept.  Morning, the doorbell was ringing continuously. I opened the door.   “Good Morning, please pay the milk bill for the month.” Milk Man was on the door.  “ Ok, How much I need to pay,” I replied.  “500,” he said.  I went to bring money. I just counted the money in my wallet, I observed that 100 less in my wallet.  Anyway, I paid the cash and closed the door.  I immediately asked my younger brother, “ Hey Sam, have you taken money from my wallet?”  He replied “ no,”  I thought “ Ok, I might have lost somewhere.”  But, I doubted Sam as I found his eyes were telling a different story. I decided to watch him. The next day, I found that again Cash is less. Now my suspect became stronger and I just decided to keep watch on him. As it was a holiday, we sta...

Under fair words, beware of fraud - Part 3- Fraud Revealed

For Part 1, click here For Part 2, click here Now, management decided to verify the situation by doing an audit of the regional office by a very senior lawyer of the company.   After the audit, the lawyer confirmed to management, "Yes, there is fraud and shreds of evidence are pointing towards Mr. Rao. But I cannot know everything in an audit."     Top management asked him to register a police complaint. As per that, he registered a police complaint and left to head office.  Now it was instructed to all that Rao sir will not be allowed to enter in office until police verification is done. But even after this, management had the opinion that it might be a trap by some of us. Hence, we all were under scanner.   On the other hand, Rao sir was telling all, that management only did this trap because he resigned.   After reporting a complaint in the police station, police immediately started their work. First, they came to the office an...
