In
Pakistan humari izzat bare hone mein nahin hai. It is all about showing how
powerful I am by yelling, taunting and belittling others. If I have a
management position, everyone will know by me yelling at everyone and
barking commands.
Now
I understand this is necessary for some jobs, like drill sergeants, policemen etc.
But for most bosses this is not a chore but pure joy. We feel stronger, better
and bigger when we tell everyone else they are all useless individuals.
I
believe the opposite is true. The better manager (or Boss) I am the less I have
to yell. You see: if I am a good boss:
* I have good judgment of people so
I only hire people who are up to the task, so I can trust them to do the job,
without me telling them what to do and when.
* I am strict, but honest. So if
someone comes late every day, I ask why. If it’s about conveyance for instance
I ask them to stay longer, so they still work their hours.
* I have hired only loyal people who
work with passion, so I don’t have to check whether they are at work on time,
they love their jobs so are here when needed.
* I reward my staff with pastries,
when a crisis is handled well, and I ask them what went wrong, and what we can
do better next time round. Then I keep this feedback in my file, so next time
we know what to do!
* Last but not least. Instead of
preaching I do what I want to preach! I come in on time. I pay my workers a
fair and honest wage on time. I keep my
outdoors meetings to a minimum. I call in when I am sick, I am polite,
honest and hardworking!
So
instead of growing bigger by standing on others, I grow bigger, and my people will follow! No
more showing off my vocal cords! Hamari izzat: hamara staff!
