Indian Democracy - Governance & Quality

India is a secular state like every democracy of the world including USA. A true democracy will survive only when people have faith in democracy.
How People have faith in democracy ? - Faith arise when democracy value the life of Human Being as human Being Not only as a life.
Faith is something which we can never measure-But surely we can cross check if citizens performing their duties without any motivation. Is India a True Democratic Country ?
The Answer of this question is NO. (from my perceptions)

As I said earlier Citizens are more then Life. They are not cattle's and our government failed to understand this concept time & again. Urban & Rural ppl will give answers differently but Quality matters everywhere. How Governance failed to keep the true democracy alive in India.The reason are as follows :

 How Our life are valued as citizens. Do we have Facilities,Infrastructure & Services we are entitled to ?  Below are the Questions we need ask ourselves - and should try to answer them.

Ans : News got doctored. Lot many suppressed. The news agencies worked like adv. agencies.
   
     b. You need clean Water for You,Industries & Farms. Do you have enough Clean water without any issue?

     e.  How is the economic condition & job opportunities available ? Are they good enough to work in tandem or grow with inflation ?

Leadership Lessons from Bhagvad Gita - Change Management.

Leadership Lessons from Bhagvad Gita - Change Management.

 “Pandavas Felt the need for Change – Wanted to create a better society or system”

A successfully managed “Change Management” can lead a company to success. Change management is required for :

1.      Dynamically change Business environment with Technology, Economies & customer   expectations.
2.      Growing business in various diverse domains.
3.      facing global factors,forces & achieve Adaptability to Strategic, Tactical & Operational changes.

“Pandavas(Arjuna) Get Disoriented in Kurushetra As soon as process for change(War) is about to Start .

A requirement (Need) to come out of comfort zone – Pain & anxiety for future ”

The three important aspects we need to deal while dealing with changes are:

People, Process and Technology. Process change & Technology change are very much measurable & widely researched. The challenges with Process and technology are relatively familiar and we know how system behave or act. As we are aware of the downside & its probability we can actually create some backup system. 

The third aspect People are really difficult to handle and it’s tricky. The emotions & habit of weighing things (Pros & Cons) continuously play a wide role in people Change Management. It keeps making people disoriented, feared & avert to changes. Even if people first thought of accepting change and began their journey for change, Winds of challenges keep on playing with their hopes and fear.

"Here Comes a Leader like Krishna - A Orientation Program (Bhagvad Gita)."

What Krishna exactly said?

• Surrender every karma to Me (As in God) : Here Krishna is taking Ownership of the changes.  Alleviate fear of failure.

 Leader should take Ownership of Failure & Success.

• Soul is beyond destruction. It will be there even if you participate in war or not: Here Krishna is suggesting that change is bound to happen and it’s a continuous Process. Even if people don’t want to change, Business forces & continuously evolving market will force the change in future and then it will be a do or die situation. 

Leader should suggest for embracing the change as an inevitable process. Welcome it soon   rather then doing fire fighting later.

•  Doing your karma without thinking of results: Here Krishna is suggesting bringing Focus in your job. Fear of failure & anxiety for success is an obstruction in focus.  

 Leader should suggest for Focus in your job, which eventually will produce Quality work.

•  Telling the yoga: Krishna suggest for Karma yoga – Excellence in your work & Doing it with perfection.

Leader should motivate the Team member to reach Excellence.

•  Showing the path to be unaffected & becoming Wiser like “Muni” :  Krishna suggested keeping the calm & remaining unattached with things simultaneously. 

Leader should inspire leadership qualities in other. Keeping the Calm, Detailed & profound thinking. Out of the box thinking without clinging to any particular solution.

•  Showing the ViraatSwaroop (The real self of God) : Krishna showed the hidden Real God to Arjuna to cement the trust of Arjuna.

          Leader should share the Vision,Plan & intentions for change with Honesty & Transparency.  Trust toward a leader will be a great force in the process of Change Management.

“Krishna guiding the Pandavas (Arjuna in chariot) from the front – Solving the War Challenges and getting war resources & Additional soldiers in Mahabharata”

A leader needs to guide the team continuously. He should be a problem Solver & should be able to come up with ideas. He should be able to mobilize resources and bring the right resources to pool.
