Mr. Madan, a finance executive in Goodwill Company Ltd., is working with this company for the last six months. He comes from a foreign management institute, with an MBA in Finance. Being young, ambitious and hard working, he doesn’t want to waste a single minute of his work –schedule.
Mr. Kumar, a senior colleague of Mr. Madan, is working for the last twenty years at Goodwill Co. Ltd. He is to retire after six months. Mr. Kumar handles only the payroll and therefore has got considerable leisure time. These days, he has started visiting Mr. Madan’s cabin too often. He visits him without any notice.
Mr. Madan feels that Mr. Kumar is wasting his time. It is difficult or rather impossible for Mr. Madan to tell Mr. Kumar directly that he should not disturb him. Mr. Madan has thought of many alternate solutions, but could not decide on anything.
Mr. Kumar makes political stories about the internal environment within the company and also about, gossips while sitting in Mr. Madan’s room. Of late, Mr. Madan’s colleagues have started teasing him and also having suspicious looks.
QUESTION:
How would you avoid Mr. Kumar, if you were Mr. Madan?

Dear,
It is the habit of some persons to wander here and there. We in all organisations find these personalities.When this happens we can say directly to any employee to avoid gossip.How ever it is somewhat difficult to say this to the immediate boss.But we can get rid of this situation :
Start talking about the job,job related issues and asking their solutions.
Geting the boss to share the experience he gained in the past years
Or if requred say politely to the boss that our contribution towards the concerned organisation matters.
Slowely the situation will tend to cahnge in your favour.Further we can not avoid such type of personalities in the organisations,but we have to act very positively without harming the sentiments/egoes of the other persons.It is upto us how we handle the situations and mold tham in our favour and in the interest of the organisations.

I could not understand why is it impossible for Mr. Madan to tell Mr. Kumar directly that he should not disturb him, firstly. If he is not in a position to tell Mr. Kumar directly then he should not complain. I hope that Mr. Madan is not reporting to Mr. Kumar, in such case he can always approach his reporting manager and make it clear his stand. what is the big deal in it that it has to be avoided.

Dear Sandy,
yes it was incomplete. However the same doctrine is applicable in the situation.
* It is very important that if someone sitting in your cabin or in front of you making some political stories or gossip,other colleagues will make adverse comments on you.
On the position of Mr.Madan, I would say politely to Mr.Kumar to .............as said earlier. With our experience, we gained that such situations become smooth with the passage of time. So Mr. Madan should not worry. Rather he must concentrate on his work...

I think Mr. Madan should seek help of his fellow workers.He should ask his peers or juniors for that matter to enter his cabin with some work requiring Mr. Madan's guidance whenever Mr. Kumar visits mr. Madan. In due course Mr. Kumar will feel unwanted thr and will stop bothering Mr. Madan...
