One day a Brahmin by the name of Sevaram asked Birbal for help. He said that his fore fathers were great Sanskrit scholars and that people used to respectfully refer to them as Panditji. He said that he had no money nor need for wealth; he was content living a simple life.
But he had just one wish. He wished people would refer to him as Panditji too. He asked Birbal how he could achieve this.
Birbal smiled and said the test was fairly simple. Birbal asked Sevaram to shout at anyone who calls him Panditji from now on.
Now the children did not like the Brahmin as he used to scold them.
Birbal told the children that Brahmin would get really irritated if they started calling him Panditji.
So the children began to tease him by yelling “Panditji” whenever he appeared and, as advised by Birbal, the Brahmin responded by shouting at them.
Gradually the word spread and everybody started calling him by Panditji.
After some time the Brahmin stopped scolding peole but the name stuck!
Management moral -
You can use the gossip mongers to your advantage. These "gossip mongers " equivalent to the "children in the story" are present in every organization and society.
One should know how to leverage them. Watch how the actors/actress or politicians use them to remain in the news. You can also use the social networking platforms to gain the desired promotion or publicity

Its tooooooo goooodddd. Good Management Lesson to be learned from the Innovative Story....................
There is another story similar to the above.
An old man was living in a peaceful community where he was disturbed by some naughty school children,particularly in the afternoons.. The old man shouted at them but all in vain. Then he used the tactics. He called them and told them if they shout and yell at their peak, they will be rewarded with ice creams and chocolates. Children happily shouted shouted and yelled to their maximum. Everyday they were offered ice creams and chocolates for this disturbance. After three days, there were less number of ice creams and chocolates. After fews days the old man told that he had no money to buy them ice creams and chocolates but asked the children to continue. Now, children got frustrated and scolded at the old man and left the place making it a point to never ever come back to that locality. There-afterwards, old man lived peacefully.
