Dharma or religion in Management
by Jaipal Singh Datta
"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.
