lesson carved out of frustation

This is neither a fiction nor a story rather it can be termed as a lesson one learns from daily life.
The law of the nature says that superior is always obstinate, illiterate, etc. Probably there will be hundreds of adjectives in the dictionary to define a superior only because he assigns you work in haphazard manner. But if this is true for all the cases then the progress would have been ceased at the beginning of the industrial age.

Let me take one typical example. One guy was lucky enough to begin his career with a managerial role. I have used the word lucky intentionally so as to emphasize on his educational background. The guy neither sports a graduate degree from prestigious IITs nor has he ever dreamt of pursuing post graduation. He is smart enough to calculate his personal career path and that might be the reason for his exceptional growth.

Being rated as good manager in the eyes of top management, this guy always felt motivated to deliver targets. But we all know that life is not that smooth. If one has not worked at the root level and also has not tried to grasp the basics of the activities, then he has to face some or rather many difficulties. But again the guy is smart enough to defy this law also. He makes the life of his juniors worse.

But in the process he forgets that all individuals have their own identity. He feels as if everyone in this world is pretty dumb and he can rule his slaves like a rude master. I would like to ask pardon for using such harsh language.

But the guy crosses limits when he gives Chanakya lessons to his juniors in order to motivate them to deliver blunders for the organization. I feel sorry for someone who has never read about great Chanakya and has a misconception that he follows the preachings even better that Chanakya himself.

To make the things more exciting, the guy has such a command over language that he can explain big bosses the requirement of ladies toilet when asked for manpower requirement. Also using his super language he can force a guy to put his career out of his priority list and lead a depressed life.

But as I have mentioned earlier that if every manager manages to be like him, then we are not far from another economic recession. So taking lessons from this guy we should make notes of the following note and try our best to be better managers.

“No one is as dumb as you suppose him to be”
