Workplace Dynamics and Gender Bias: How Should Radha Navigate Her New Role?

Hi Friends,

Let me take you through a case study.

This is about 4 employees: Radha (26 yrs/Engaged to Avinash/working/Ambitious), John (bachelor, 20 yrs old), Avinash (30 yrs old/Engaged to Radha, Dominating character), and Aslam (45 yrs old/married and settled in life/superior in the org).

Avinash doesn't want Radha to be working at his level. John is a buddy to Radha but still is jealous of her achievements. Aslam feels women should not be working, kind of an ancient bugger.

The management makes a decision to move the supervisor out of the org and make one of the 4 as the new supervisor. Radha is chosen as the new supervisor.

The rest of the guys are not happy with her promotion.

Scenario - The business makes a profit of 10 crores every year. And last year it was 12 crores. Suddenly, management says to her that she should make 10 crores in the next 2 quarters (6 months). Radha doesn't have any choice since if she doesn't make it, Avinash will be promoted in her place. And Avinash is so upset with Radha that he will ditch her if she fails then. Also, he is not happy to work under her as he is engaged to her.

Aslam is a senior guy and feels very bad to report to Radha, John is ok to report to Radha but has evil intentions in his mind about Radha.

What would you suggest Radha should do? Should she reach out to you for help?

Please suggest!!

Good case study

Is she keen about her career or keen about a good settled married life? She alone should answer this.

If she is keen to have a great career, then she should go all out and get the results.

If she is keen to have a good settled married life, she should not take up this assignment. Let the management decide on the other three or bring in a new person.

Hi All,

There are loads of Radhas in many work environments. Since Radha is hardworking and ambitious, she should make the best of this opportunity. Radha should plan her moves and try to make the other three team members understand that at the end of the day, if management challenges are met, it benefits all of them professionally. If she plays her cards well, convincing John and the more experienced team member should not be too difficult.

Regarding her fiancé, they need to evaluate their relationship and expectations from each other. Love alone cannot sustain a relationship; it requires a mix of respect, compromise, and trust.

But would you consider a place for love and affection in management theories?
