HR
conclave at a premium institution
Speakers
from prominent corporates
One
of them spoke
about
the dilemma of choosing
between
Right and Right….
She
then gave an example
of
a real life situation
an
incident from her own company
The
hero was highly accomplished
an
IIT pass out
with
proven track record
An
epitome of success
he
was poised to sign
on
behalf of company
a
multi-million deal
Then,
in a weak moment
he
casually remarked
that
he had got in to IIT
attending
coaching classes
and
that in fact
he
hadn’t passed SSLC.
Walls
they say, have ears
someone
made a formal complaint
and
then the dilemma began for HR & the management
That
the hero hadn’t passed SSLC
and
concealed the fact to move ahead, wasn’t right
Yet,
he was good enough to pass from IIT
and
contributing effectively thus far
now,
after so many years going after him
Wasn’t
right either?
This
was the dilemma, concluded the speaker
To
my mind it was not about Right Vs Right
It
was clearly between right and wrong
“It
all depend on your core values!”
Shouted
I from the audience
the
words had escaped my lips
Involuntarily,
beyond my control….
The
story made clear one thing
that there
are no dilemmas
many
of them so called are created
by
admin themselves from their own
Inconsistencies
and lack of clarity!
PS: IIT refers to the Indian institute of technology, a premier institute in India.

True...often our dilemmas are due to lack of clarity. A nice read :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Purba!
ReplyDeleteIt is always difficult to choose bw Right Vs Right. But when one conveniently assumes wrong vs right to be right vs right or gets such a notion due to lack of clarity, the solution arising from it would be skewed.
ReplyDeleteA poem with a message :)
Thank you Ranjini for hitting the nail on the essence of the poem!
