"With Great Power Comes Great Resposibility"
We just love the power, the power to express, the power to control, the power to change, to power to distroy.... etc, how callous of us to forget the next part of the saying, "Greater Responsibility!"We are so careful that we do everything and look for more power to do more, hbut very carelessly forget the fact that i still have all the other resposibilities that i had before. For example, lets think of a child of five years, he is resposible enough not to pee in his pants, and when he grows older to six, he is resposible not to hurt his sibiling, but does this mean he can start to pee in his pants? Then why do we assume that our gains means to relax and forget about life of where we came out from?
Being Responsible: Every one knows that they can be responsible.To some it means "i can rule the world!". Yes, we do understand that you have been pushed inot a corner and finally you are promoted, but that doesnot put you at ease. It puts you both responsible for your actions and the others working under you. And mind you, you are eligible for a de-promotion as much as you are for a promotion. So, its always wise to realise that if you have been given some amount of trust by some one, and people have been reposting to you, you have already got your respect. Now its your turn to respect the ones below.
Hans Finzel, a great speaker, to whose message this is closely related to, said that the world looks for "bottom-up" approch, and transperancy,and a non dictator like behaviour in any aspect from the guy above to the guy below. Simple when you think, but when you look at this, it gets hard. This is called "Servent - Leader" method and this is not suited for both super heros and Military Rule and definetly against the Indian tradition that you must keep kissing your boss hand to move up. Dont expect someone to kiss your hand, expect to be considered a manager that the person keeps changing the dates of his resignation just so that he gets a manager like you. If you impress them there, they might just stay. Good luck
...till next time Su!
