INDISCIPLINE VS DISCIPLINE

-



In the cities there will be illuminated Ads where 'Colgate' toothpaste will move and 'Surf' powder soap would come. Most people think indiscipline would move equally easily to give way to discipline. 


  • ·      Bad service in banks/railway-transport bookings

  • ·      Neighbor blaring hi-fi music

  • ·      Traffic violations/parking violations

  • ·      Corruption, fraud, indiscretion (all these by others)


 The above are some common acts of indiscipline. Most of them are formed since at their first occurrence it was neither questioned nor resisted. A resistance if not questioned forces the offender to vacillate before committing the offence. Complacence in questioning breeds the habit, creating in the process the right to commit the offence.

When the offence is successfully committed the offender benefits but the person failing to question does not lose initially. The right to commit the offence gradually becomes the right to enjoy the benefits out of committing the offence. The fact that it is an offence is thus gradually forgotten and the benefits become the right. It is at that stage more people are affected by the offence though it is not perceived as offence by the offender but as a right.

Here starts the battle. The disciplined starts questioning the indiscipline but individually. The undisciplined lot being the long time beneficiary of riches (wrongly or otherwise) collectively resist tooth and nail the attempt to change the system that works in their favor.

Those needing discipline hence have to learn to question and resist the wrong at the first place to prevent further deterioration of the system. Just as the habits got formed over a period of time collective indiscipline by the groups cannot be wished away overnight but needs time to soften and decay for good. Like a disease earned in the body by long drawn bad habits in liver, heart or anywhere as cancer it can be cured only thro a painful process and longer the process of forming the more painful the process of relief.




 
Hence once the realization dawns that it is a painful process and not an easy change like the advertisement slide a beginning is made to bring culture of discipline back.

GOOD BAD AND UGLY IN RIGHT PROPORTION IS LEADERSHIP

-

  The good bad and the ugly in right mix is what is leadership. People adore leaders since their good part is more visible while the bad and ugly form part of strategy that leadership is always made up of. Talking from the Indian perspective we talk of " sama dana bedha dhanda" as the right techniques leaders should adopt. The good and the 'sama' sync well as you do not need anything else to convince someone except good words and normally the method also works with people who behave 'good' for whatever purpose. 'Dana' is the way people who evade being good fall for, most often. 'Dana' is nothing but buying out people with favors and in present day materialistic world it is all the more easier for leaders to choose the apt item of 'Dana' which different people opt for. The role of leadership becomes a little complicated and demands the real skill of the leader both in strategy and approach when the last two options have to ...

METRO TO RURAL POSTING OF BANKER---LEARNINGS ON BRINJAL AND TOMATO

                                       THIS IS THE BRINJAL PLANT I WAS FAMILIAR WITH How do you know? This was the question of my colleague with additional surprise. I didn't know what to answer as brinjal plants are less than two feet in height is no great general knowledge.  This officer on rural transfer from Mumbai and knowing Gujarati was made a manager in a godforsaken rural branch in South Gujarat. ‘Manager Saheb’ as address, respectful greetings across the village, hospitality with overflowing fruits and milk and lot of discretionary power and obedient staff in office were quite in contrast to his two decades life in cramped flat of the metro and drudgery of office life. Though different life, he didn't feel out of place.  He hardly understood his job role but was feeling comfor...

EDUCATION AND SCHOOLS

-
It was a quiz program to test the knowledge of Tamil. Three schools participated out of which two had good brand value and were also from urban/metro areas. The third was from a small remote village near Kinathukadavu in Coimbatore district. I was delighted when the boys from this school won and earned handsome rewards in cash and kind. It is a middle school of less than 500 students and KPA of teachers include visiting homes of students and convincing parents on value of education to send students to schools instead of work. In others words marketing of a school which did not have brand value. The students wore new uniform for the program and were beaming with confidence to compete. The urge for knowledge and consequent respect and recognition it fetches ignited their spirit to be competitive. It was very pleasing to see the humble teacher accepting standing ovation equally humbly stating that NRIs from their district also have come to know of the school and are support...
