BAS bhi karo Ae BOSS

There are 2 classes of people in the society. One is of those who are accustomed to carry out orders and the other one only orders whom most of us call BOSS. It is also a fact that BOSS represents the organisation and his personality, character, attitude etc puts a great impact on the name and fame of the organisation.

I would describe my experience with 2 types of BOSSES, though I always hate anyone to accept as my BOSS. First of all ,I feel there is only one BOSS who controls the whole cosmos and secondly I totally disagree to the traditional saying "The Boss can never be wrong"

Long back in 1983 when I was in North Eastern, I had the opportunity to work with a gentleman who was the head of our region. One day he came on an official visit to our locality. The Manager of our branch smartly dressed went to the Airport to receive him and extended his hand for a handshake when our Regional Manager reached the lounge. He on hearing that the gentleman was the Branch manager asked him what for he is there because it a business hour and he is supposed to be in the branch. Out of nervousness the Manager told that Sir, I have come to receive you with my MARUTI Car. Remember in 1983 Maruti was a new car on the road and the owners boasted of their position for having a Maruti Car. The Regional Manager told I have seen enough Maruti Car, now just go back to your branch and send the office jeep and the driver to pick me up.

Now friends, do we find such executives in the Bank to day? I think no and that is why the condition of the banks is so pitiable.I would like to cite another example of a BOSS. During my tenure in Odisha we had another Regional Manager, who without any valid and strong reason had kept a credit proposal file pending for quite a considerable period of time. One day I asked him Sir, what for the file has been kept pending. To my utter surprise, he told are yaar aur 1 ya 2 saal hai mere retirement men. Agar yeh loan doob gaya to meri khat khadi ho jayegi. Mujhe nahin padna hai is jhamele men. A few months later another young man succeeded him , who also kept the file pending. His explanation was also very interesting. He told mera abhi 10 saal baki hai bank men naukari ka, Agar yeh loan doob gaya to mere promotion ka kya hoga?

So dear BOSS ab BAS BHI KARO. Agar OONCHI kursi par baithte ho to dil men himmat bhi paida karo faisla lene ki, varna langoti bandhkar jangal men chale jao babaji ban kar. It is immaterial in which post you are working but it matters a lot how effectively you are working.
