Excellent article in the website. His driving forces in today's
businesses are speed and competition. But he is able to balance with CSR. Our
mind is like a Computer, continuously programmed since our childhood
along with some vasanas from our previous birth. This programming is
both good and bad for ourselves, a healthier programming makes us a
productive and happy individual, while a bad program may turn us into
a unproductiveThere is a distinct danger that these forces cause
erosion of the moral fiber, that in seeking the end, one permits
oneself immoral means - tax evasion, illegitimate financial holdings,
being "economical with the truth", deliberate oversight in the audit,
too-clever financial reporting and so on.Many managers want to remain
comfortable, making the same decisions they have always made. They
believe they can do a better job themselves. They don't want to risk
losing any of their power and stature (ironically, they do lose these
if they don't learn to delegate effectively). Often, they don't want
to risk giving authority to subordinates in case they fail and impair
the organization. You are dynamic in all these matters may be
given the best enterprenur award.
