THE '3 IN 1' THAT LETS DOWN NONE!


'Lush greenery ready to appease hunger,
Fresh waters ready to quench thirst,
Rain bearing clouds ready to support..
Keep life on earth ever blooming!'

In the morning hrs..

“The meeting started at 0900 sharp; the clock shows 0915.. And you are here now!”

Commented the GM looking at his 3 Senior Managers who came late for the meeting..
  • “I was busy on the other important work which took just 10 minutes more. Anyhow, this is my routine meeting!”
Said the 1st one looking up at the GM in his own style..
  • “Sir! I started in time.. On the way, our DGM wanted something and I had to answer on that.. Sorry for the delay!”
Said the next one timidly looking down all along..
  • “Oh! Am I late? Thought on time.. Yeah! I see every one already here. No problem, I'll pick up. Good Morning to you all!"
Saying thus, the 3rd Manager quickly occupied his seat throwing a broad smile..

After lunch hr..

"Sir! We've a problem...."

The Assistants of the 3 men were saying in the individual chambers..
  • "I am not sitting here to solve every problem of your. You have to do it I've my work. Don't disturb me!"
Shouted the 1st Manager..
  • "OK! Leave it with me. Any way, I only have to do everything. I don't understand what for I've Assistants in my Office!"
Murmured the 2nd one..
  • "What's the issue, dear? Brief me a bit. I'll tell you the way out..No problem!"
Pacified the 3rd one with a smile..

In the evening hrs at their residences..

"Sir! We have a Program..."
  • "I'm too tired.. At work, my Bosses are eating me out. Can you just leave me for the present. I've no time!"
Refused the 1st man flatly..
  • "I'll try to squeeze in. What else to do? Don't know how to handle so many these issues at a time!"
Said the 2nd one half dead..
  • "Interesting! We'll be there positively.. My family needs off from the weekly routine. Thanks for the invitation. What are the tickets like?"
Welcomed the 3rd man..

A few years rolled by….

The 1st man lost few career prospects because of his temper, was unpopular with his colleagues/subordinates and was disliked in the neighborhood..

The 2nd one was never liked by Higher-ups, equally overpowered by few smart subordinates and shun in the neighborhood..

The 3rd man alone was in limelight with Bosses ever liking him, Subordinates ever respecting him and the neighborhood forever feeling a true friend next to them!

  1. Thats a nice one Sridhar, It is a very sensible thing to do - to let go of small things as small things. Most times I do agree that it is about the ego of a person and no one likes to be put down. But 3 seems to have done it quite efficiently.. No one puts us down till we let them and we can always let go and be the bigger person :)

    1. I agree with you Vinay that at any time, we should just manage according to the situation and all methods are acceptable here…. But, it’s a fact in my Service that the obedient and the rebelling people had their own problems with Bosses unless they were powerful the other way…. Those, who just had put up without yielding beyond survived well thru’ the situations and these were mostly normal people without much back up of something extra…. Based on that alone, I wrote this Post….

    1. You are very much right Rajeev as equal number of times that happens....But they would be equally powerful too indirectly.... That strength many times supports them there!

  4. Thanks Sreedhar for a nice post. I have seen the 1st kind of people growing up the corporate ladder fast but never earned respect of the colleagues. 3rd kind of people are liked by the coworkers but not by the boss :)

    1. True Arun.... What you said is right and it happens too often around us.... I just conveyed thru' this Post the Message that stands in the world.... 'Refrain from opposing the Powerful; be friendly with Equals, be extra helpful towards the Less-better-offs but equally never bow down beyond!' which attitude forever does only the ultimate good to us!

  7. Hmm...the way 3rd man is portrayed obviously gives a good picture as he seems to be very positive in all his dealings. Probably this is also the reason he is more liked by people around. Though I have noticed people who follow their bosses as if they are their PAs, they do have their differences but never really convey them effectively. While it is good to avoid altercations but if you can convey your concerns positively (& with a SMILE - very imp) makes a hell lot of difference. The 3rd character here seems like falling in this category.

    1. Yes! Rightly said.... It's equally a basic survival attitude at the back of having a certain peace in our life...Thanks for the point brought out!

  8. Pleasure to read. Many hope to be like 3rd one, but it requires a lot of learning and many other important skills.
