Politics in India and USA




                                                      Jaipal Singh Datta 
 I never liked politics. But I know no organization or nation can implement its decisions without a team or without a group. As soon as we create a group to achieve the aim and target, we get opposition from hurt or affected persons. So I learned with time that we can not survive, or I should say humanity can not survive without a political party, a group of people determined to bring change to society for the good of all.
                                                            Jaipal Datta
Each human thinks differently. Each human has the right to think so. So there shall always be opposition.
Democracy means that we can try to counsel others with words, advertisements, and any other means. We must try to convince others.

The result of the poll shall indicate that what people want. We should respect the decision of voting polls. Fairness of voting is important. Change is the law of Nature. We all are living at different times. The time of ancestors was different. We must find a solution under new circumstances. We must understand that we create society or Industry. Industry or Society do not create humanity. Industry or business is a tool for progress and not means for exploitation.

Medical care, education, food, shelter, and clothing are requirements of humanity. Therefore, we must try to provide these facilities to younger generations and old generations.

Management by human values

                         Management by human values
                   Dharma or religion in Management
                   by Jaipal Singh Datta

This site is dedicated to the self-less managers who are work alcoholics, who work without any rewards for the welfare of humanity. Yet, these managers change the destiny of society, nations, and united nations.

"This life is short, the vanities of the world are transient, but they alone live who live for others; the rest are more dead than alive."

Management by Human Values


People working in a society can be broadly categorized into three groups. The first group is the performers. These are the people who perform in whatever position they are put. They believe that work is worship. Therefore, they can be called Work Alcoholics.

There is another group of people who always talk about money ( Jaisa Daam, vaisa Kaam ). They are ready to work provided they get "adequate" compensation for the work. They are ready to put in more effort if they are rewarded tangibly. These are Workable.

There is a third group of people who do not want to work. They will do the minimum. These are passengers. They want to avoid work as much as they can.

Believe it or not, everyone works for society. Everyone has the right to live. Management by human values teaches managers methods to effectively take work from second and third groups and motivates them to perform efficiently. My experience shows that Management by Human Values is an "in-born" quality of individuals, and everyone can not manage by human values. Only managers with strong leadership qualities, love for human beings, and self-discipline can motivate others for the Industry or Society. Family, society, or community is part of a Nation. The nation is part of the World. The world is part of the universe, and the Universe is part of the Cosmos. Very few individuals work for others without any selfish interest. I see so many people exploiting others. To deliver results for society, one must exploit and get exploited also.

We should never forget that target of any living organization is to earn profit and pay taxes for the welfare of society. The industry is part of society and not vice versa. Greed, ego, pride, jealousy, hatred, selfish interests, and other vices create problems for Industry or capital accumulation or Management by Human Values. The selfless worker can produce better, more efficient results. Why? Because he may be transparent or without any ego. Although sometimes in management, one has to exploit the feeling of the individual ego.

One should understand the basic law of nature. One takes birth to help others and work for the society or nation. The society shall progress as per the rules of nature. Someone may become rich-poor, educated - uneducated; good-bad; selfish -selfless; leader-follower; saint -criminal, etc. Death is the ultimate reality in life. And there is life beyond death. Scientists shall prove within 50 years or, say, 2060.

With this, we request you to study our lessons and enjoy them.

Human Values in Management - a new concept

"It is unfortunate that the United Nations failed to stress the fundamental duties of human beings while putting due stress on their fundamental rights or human rights. A complete philosophy of life will be a happy balance between rights and privileges, on the one hand, and duties and responsibilities, on the other."

This shall be the basic principle of the global family or unity of the world. So please manage my world with human values. Do not fight for money and wealth. Money may temporarily satisfy desire, greed, ego, and jealousy. Hunger for the stomach, desires for sex, and wealth can never be satisfied. So read Bhagwat Gita and  Management by Human Values by Jaipal Singh Datta. Kindly contact me for any assistance.

Management by human values - Case Study 1



Letter received from Chief Executive of a company of 70Million Rs Turnover. It is a case of frustration of a unit head and the height of toleration of another colleague.
Mr. X is trying to revive the sick unit, where Mr. F was the unit head of the concern for 52 years. His age is around 75 Years. The age of X is 65 years. Mr. F behaved earlier also with other senior executives in the same way. The eyewitness is Mr. E

Management by human values Case Study No.1 


The Chief Executive of a firm informs the senior directors of the company. Reproduced with his permission as below: 
                            
 UNPLEASANT OCCURRENCE AT MY UNIT (MU)

Dear Sir,
1.    I am writing to inform you regarding an unpleasant episode that took place at MU on 10th March 2012. The chronological details are as under:-
          (a)    At about 1500 hrs. as a matter of routine, I went to F’s office to apprise him of factory days activities. Mr. X also accompanied me. At that time, Mr. E was also present in  Mr. F's office. I greeted Mr. F appropriately, and the moment  Mr. X started to convey his greetings, Mr. F looked at him and angrily told him to leave his office saying that he has nothing to do with him.
          (b)   Mr. X enquired from Mr. F why he is annoyed with him and that he has come to convey the Chairman’s message to him. Mr. F using abusive language again, told him to leave his office immediately, to which Mr. X replied that he will not leave his office without conveying the message of the Chairman and you can do whatever you wish to do.
         (c)   At this point, Mr. F got extremely annoyed and started using abusive language not worth mentioning and got up from his chair, giving an impression of leaving his office. At this point in time, I was sitting on a chair opposite Mr. F’s chair across the table. The moment Mr. F reached the office door, he picked up his walking stick and, using abusive language, he started hitting  Mr. X, who did not try to defend himself and instead kept on saying, “ hit me, hit me, and relieve yourself of your frustration.”
         (d)    I shouted for Mr. F to stop hitting and tried to intervene by saying that it does not behave of The company’s senior officers to fight like this, but to no avail, as Mr. X told me to let Mr. F hit him as much as he wants and Mr. F continued abusing and hitting him. Somehow I physically intervened and stopped the one-sided fight. When Mr. F stopped hitting, Mr. X told Mr. F that “you try to hit your son like this, then you would know what happens.”  
2. During all this, Mr. E was present, whom I asked him to leave the place and do his job. He left the place immediately.
3.    We, Mr. F, Mr. X, and self came out of Mr. F’s office where Mr. F using abusive language, loudly mentioned the following to Mr. X:-
         (a)    I know that Chairman has sent you here to fight with me, and you can go and tell                                              him I don’t care.   
           (b)     My 52 years hard work and service to the Company have been reduced to ashes because of your backbiting to Chairman.
           (c)    I had repeatedly been called to another office and made to sit there without any work to humiliate me.
          (d)    I shall ruin Chairman and will see to it that the Chairman goes to Jail. Mr. Chairman can call Chief Minister, Governor, and Prime Minister; whomever he wishes to, I care to hoots.
4.    At this point in time, I intervened, and peace prevailed. Later on, Mr. F got into his car and went away. I and Mr. X reached my office and rung up Mr. E and urged him not to divulge any details of this episode to anyone whatsoever, to which he promised his silence.
5.    I contacted the Chief Executive of the other associated companies and narrated the incident to him in the presence of Mr. X.  He said that he shall convey the same to your good self. 
6.   At about 18:45 hrs, Mr. X telephoned me and requested me to come to his room. There he showed me the swollen back of my right hand, right arm, and shoulder. 
 7.   Mr. X did not report to the police in the overall interest of the organization and gave in writing to the chairman.

I call it the height of frustration and the height of toleration.

Readers, please comment. 

Mr. X is still working, and Mr. F is also working. No action is taken by Chairman as per the last reports received. Some senior executives are discussing taking an apology from Mr. F in writing and seeking Mr. F's removal. Sometimes management by human values creates nonsense, and the unit becomes sick. It becomes sick because of senior executives but not because of workers.

The author has written the book on Management by human values, and one of the readers from a leading Indian industry informed him about this case. Names are kept confidential.

It is informed later in 2017 that directors could not take any action against F and frustrated X and E left the company after 3-5 years.
