Bhavesh's Tryst

*A gentleman named Sunder had great friends until he became the boss of
his unit. The moment he became the boss he started behaving
differently,started becoming rude, obnoxious and extremely demanding.
That was when, Kalyan Singh, the owner of the company decided to have a
talk with him. "Do you know why you have been given a higher salary, a
car, a secretary, a cabin?" Sunder replied that they were the perks of
his job. Kalyan Singh asked again, "And what is your job?" Sunder
rattled out his job description and his key result areas. "And how do
you plan to get a promotion?" Sunder replied that it would happen if he
did his work diligently and reached his targets. "No," said Kalyan
Singh, "Absolutely not." Sunder did not understand. Kalyan Singh
explained, "If you do your job well, why would I move you out? I will
keep you exactly where you are." Looking at the bewildered expression on
Sunder's face, Kalyan Singh continued, "If you nurture someone to take
your place, then yes, I may consider promoting you. But you seem to be*

*nurturing no one. You are too busy trying to be boss, trying to
dominate people, being rude and obnoxious. That is because you are
insecure. So long as you are insecure, you will not let others grow. And
as long as those under you do not grow, you will not grow yourself. Or
at least, I will not give you another responsibility. You will end up
doing the*

*same job forever. Do you want that?" That is the moment Sunder
understood the meaning of Vikramaditya's throne.*

*As we go higher in the ladder, we should ideally become more secure and
hence more generous - the creators of opportunity. When this does not
happen, we end up creating an organization full of cantankerous
inhospitable farmers and absolutely no kings.*
