Dear Shri Ganesh Ramachandran,
Your presentation is an excellent compendium about politics in organizations.
The last 10 and odd slides are like an icing on the cake, suggesting the remedy for every shortcoming.
Perhaps the following additions might also benefit the readers.
Stephen Covey’s Emotional Bank Account, particularly the fifth deposit of “ Loyalty to people not present” to
avoid slander, should be inculcated across the organization.
Citing a reference from the great Thirukkural,
In the Adhikaram on ‘avoiding slander’ 10 gems can be found (Kural no 181 to 190).
We will see one kural (couplet).
Kann ninru kann ara sollinum Sollarka
Munn ninru pin nokka soll
Speaking harshly face to face is a far better behavior than speaking at one’s back.
Again ‘paiyanil sollamai’ adhikaram mentions ten kurals ( couplets).
As a sample the last one goes thus:
Solluga Sollin Payanudaiya; Sollarka
Sollin Payanila Soll
Speak only useful words. Avoid useless and worthless words.
Some printer’s devil has crept in the first two slides.
Permit me to mention the small corrections.
I am sure that the first half of the sentences give the intended spelling or meaning .
Slide 1 Ugly Politics instead of Ugly Polytics
Slide 2 Every one got their own Agenda instead of Every one got there own Agenda
In slide 1 looking from a lighter vein, Polytics could be even a more dangerous version than Politics as Poly refers to multidimensional !!!
To conclude with a note to Mr Ganesh Ramachandran --
You have really conveyed a very effective message to the readers.
May your good work continue.
