Q1) How can Holistic Management help in curbing the exploitation of nature?

Holistic approach to management: Holistic approach to management is based on spiritual principle of unity, oneness, nondual or Advaita concept. Under this principle of unity the universe is an undivided whole where every particle is connected with every other particle. The Divine interpenetrates this Jagat like pearls on a string. Hence, entire humanity is one. Management must recognize oneness of humanity. Respect the divine in all beings. See your own self in all selves. It is said, Do unto others as thou wish that others should do unto you. This is the yoga of highest order. Management is called upon to follow whole-man approach to management and leadership. An integrated human personality of self-developed manager and worker can assure best and competent management of any enterprise, involving collective works and efforts. The refined or higher consciousness will adopt holistic attitude. It will bring out the divine in the man. It will achieve perfection or excellence in whatever sector you work. We shall achieve peace, harmony and prosperity within and without, i.e., in our internal world simultaneously. This is the ideal of Indian ethos: Atmano Mokshartham Jagat Hitaya Cha. This is the motto of Ramakrishna Order founded by Swami Vivekananda. This is the message for all managers and workers given by the Indian ethos for management. Under the holistic approach management will not exploit shareholders, employees, customers, society and nature. If holistic approach of management is followed by the organization then the following things can happen: 1. All work is an opportunity for doing good to the world and thus gaining materiality and spirituality in our lives. 2. Worship people not only with material things but also by showing respect to their everpresent divinity within. 3. Strength and inspiration for excelling in work comes from the Divine. God within, through prayer, holy readings and unselfish work. 4. He who works with calm and even mind achieves the most. 5. As we think, so we succeed, so we become. Attention to means ensures the end. 6. By mutual co-operation, respect and fellow feeling all of us will enjoy the highest good both material and spiritual. 7. Infinite happiness and infinite peace come to them who see the divine in all beings.

8. Regard the other person as a divine being. All of us have the same consciousness through our packages or containers are different. Hence it can be said that if holistic approach to management is followed it can help in curbing the exploitation of nature.

Q.2 Discuss the impact of Indian Cultural heritage on the youth today? There are many diverse definitions of culture. The Assembly of First Nations defines culture as the customs, history, values, and languages that make up the heritage of a person or people, and contribute to that person's or people's identity. A concept of culture must include specific reference points in the historical experiences of a people. The social sciences provide the categories of investigation. One area for consideration is the relationship between a society and its environment. The society's economic lifestyles which are based upon resource development, whether it be hunting, trapping, fishing, mining or mineral development, is also a key consideration. Social structures and interactions affect education, family, and community roles of individual members of the society. These, shaped by the environment, often determine aspects of social life such as recreation, physical fitness, moral, and spiritual development. Respect for nature and the individual are requisites for a compassionate, tolerant, and healthy society. When people interact with nature and each other, they use tools, higher level thinking skills and language. The Aboriginal peoples tend to perceive themselves in harmony with nature while Euro-Canadian peoples tend to see nature as a resource to be exploited for individual or collective gain. In modern times, the philosophies of Indigenous peoples have been applied to problems of waste and pollution, giving rise to environmental movements. The relationship between nature and humanity has become a matter of life or death. Four main components of culture may be said to include people, technology and objects, relations, and institutions. A culturally sensitive curricula must respect these aspects of a society and present them accurately, avoiding the pitfalls of anthropological interpretation, bias, stereotyping, and racism. A people's concept of themselves is the most valid form of group identity. Self-determination is a struggle crucial to all societies. How the society meets this challenge defines its cultural identity.

The retention or loss of traditions, customs, ceremonies, and languages will determine the identity and culture of future generations. The retention of traditional aspects of culture allows individuals and students to be aware of their ancestry, and the value and accomplishments of their race, community, and society. This historical and cultural awareness enhances the concept of self and social worth. Collective action, whether in a society, community, or classroom influences the development of an individual's beliefs, actions, and social skills. Cultural and community interaction is therefore vital if students are to develop fully their potential. That potential strengthens and supplements all aspects of the culture of the student and the society in which the student interacts. What the individual then creates (products), or changes (processes), alters the structure of society which may force evolutionary changes upon a culture. Technology is the product, and politics, law, philosophy, ethics, the arts, and religion are the processes of change. Cultures alter, depending upon how these products and processes impact upon the individual and society. Interaction with these processes and products may be positive or negative. It is the function of education, whether it be natural, cultural, social, public or private, to ensure that interactions are positive and productive for the individual and society. Thus Indian culture had influenced Indian youth.

Q3) How do Indian Management thoughts promote sustainable development? Indian Management Thoughts: 1. All work is an opportunity for doing good to the world and thus gaining materiality and spirituality in our lives. 2. Worship people not only with material things but also by showing respect to their everpresent divinity within. 3. Strength and inspiration for excelling in work comes from the Divine. God within, through prayer, holy readings and unselfish work. 4. He who works with calm and even mind achieves the most. 5. As we think, so we succeed, so we become. Attention to means ensures the end. 6. By mutual co-operation, respect and fellow feeling all of us will enjoy the highest good both material and spiritual. 7. Infinite happiness and infinite peace come to them who see the divine in all beings.

8. Regard the other person as a divine being. All of us have the same consciousness through our packages or containers are different.

Sustainable Development: Sustainable development is a process in which development can be sustained for generations. It is development, which affords to the future generations the same if not more capacity to prosper as the present generation has. Thus sustainable focuses on inter generational fairness in the development opportunities. Every generation of mankind creates as well as destroys certain amount of resources for its development purpose. But the nature and rate of present development are such that the rate of destruction of resources is greater than the rate of creation. If this trend continues beyond a century or so, it is apprehended that there would not only no further development but there might be economic stagnation or even disaster. Indian Management thoughts promote sustainable development: According to Indian management thoughts all work is an opportunity to do good and thus gain materiality and spirituality and thus if this is practiced the organizations will take care that the environment around them is not polluted and also they will take care that they utilize the available resources properly because by doing this they will do a good job for the coming generations. Indian society is such that we worship trees over here and we respect every component of the biosphere hence we can say that people who work in the organizations will definitely take care of the environment. In Indian management thoughts it is believed that infinite happiness and infinite peace come to them who see the divine in all beings and according to it every person working in every organization will consider every other person and thing present in the and around the organization as divine and will never pollute the atmosphere around him. Hence it can be said that Indian management thoughts can promote sustainable development.

Q4) Not ego-management but eco-management is what modern management. Explain. Ecology and business are very closely related. Business activities supply goods and services for the satisfaction of human wants. They are also responsible for disturbing ecology. Pollution problem is the result of unplanned industrial growth. Business has to accept legal and moral responsibility for maintaining clean environment and take suitable measures for this purpose. Ego Management: Freud developed the first comprehensive personality theory, which is based on the hypothesis that the conscious mind is only the tip of the iceberg, the larger mass being the unconscious, which is the storehouse of impulses, passions and primitive instincts, that affect our thoughts and behaviour. We saw personality as composed of three structures, Id, Ego and Superego. Id is the pleasure principle that seeks immediate tension reduction, contains everything inherited, present at birth and fixed in the individuals constitution, especially instincts. It knows no laws, obeys no rules and remains basic to the individual. Ego develops out of the Id because of the need to deal with the real world. The Superego represents the internalized values and morals of society as learnt. In Indian view, every person has (i) the gross physical body; (ii) the energy system; (iii) the intellect; (iv) the mind and (v) the indestructible soul. Every person is operating simultaneously at all levels. Each level is subtler than the earlier one and allows more freedom of movement through time and space. The whole person, who is really the integration of five constituents, is to be managed as a whole and not in parts. That is why, in the Ayurvedic system of medicine and in other Indian practices like yoga or meditation, the focus is on all the five. It is assumed that unless all the five

are in proper co-ordination and harmony, the person will be disjointed and ill. Physical illness comes from an unhealthy mind. The negative energy created by thoughts like anger, jealously, greed, etc. have to be replaced by positive energies created by love, passion, satisfaction, etc. for better physical and mental health. This is ego management. But in todays context it is eco-management that it is of utmost importance.

The following points suggest relationship between business and ecology: 1. Unplanned industrialisation is dangerous to ecology: Industrial growth without proper planning leads to ecological imbalance and pollution of water, air and sound. This the present position in many industrial townships, industrial areas and industrial estates in India. Local people suffer (due to air, water and sound pollution) in different ways but business enterprises do not give much attention to their complaints and hardships. Even legal provisions relating to pollution control are not honoured honestly. This situation exists in India and also in many other countries. Unplanned industrialization disturbs the entire ecosystem and ecological balance. Environment sets the limit to business activities and business activities should be conducted within such safe limits. Ecology and development go together. It is desirable to have industrial development without adverse effects or at least minimum undesirable effects on ecology. Development without clean environment is socially and economically undesirable. 2. Planned industrial growth is needed for maintaining ecological balance: No one is against industrial growth. Its importance is universally accepted for economic growth, employment opportunities and higher standard of living. However, the process of industrial should move in a well-planned manner. This means industrial growth should not disturb ecological balance and peaceful life of people. Adverse effects of industrial growth should be avoided / minimized. Industrialisation should be without tears. It should offer positive benefits with minimum adverse effects. For this, suitable preventive and positive measures should be taken at the government and business levels. 3. Avoiding pollution for better social welfare: All necessary measures should be taken at the business level for avoiding pollution and other adverse effects of industrial growth. For this,

additional on the part of industrial enterprises will be necessary but it should be treated as an investment for the protection of ecological balance. 4. Sharing responsibility by business for ecological balance: Businessmen, argue that they are concerned with the establishment and orderly running of their industrial units and are not concerned with pollution and ecological imbalance. Environment protection, according to them, is not a problem worth bothering about. It is for the government to take suitable steps for the protection of environment and ecological balance. This idea is, now, treated as an outdated one and also socially dangerous, it is argued that industrial growth should not create any adverse effect on ecological balance. For this, suitable steps should be taken by the business enterprises themselves in the initial period and thereafter as they should not be allowed to run the enterprises at the cost of the society. 5. Business has to bring in ecology balance: The responsibility for controlling environment lies particularly on those who disturb it. For e.g., if trees are cut in order to establish a new plant, efforts should be made to plant more trees near the plant or in the vicinity so that the greenery of the area is not adversely affected. In other words, efforts should be made to bring proper balance between clean environment and industrial development. 6. Environment protection responsibility of all but particularly of the business enterprises: Ecological balance is a matter of serious concern. Business must accept social / moral responsibility as regards pollution control, clean environment and ecology balance. It is also necessary to give proper education, guidance and training to top level managers regarding pollution control and ecological balance. The business associations can also motivate their members. For this, meetings, seminars, etc. are useful. Social organisations (e.g., association of tree lovers, clean environment, Hariyali, etc.) and government can also play an important role in maintaining ecological balance. 7. Awareness among businessmen required for ecology protection: Ecological

consciousness in business means to make businessmen and business enterprises conscious of their responsibilities as regards pollution control and clean environment. This is urgently required for the protection of life and welfare citizens. The problem of ecological imbalance is spreading like AIDS all over the world. It is therefore, necessary to have co-operation and meaningful participation of business for solving the problem.

Q5) How does nature help in building human wealth? Give illustrative examples?

The survival of man depends upon how effectively and judiciously he manages the earth and maintains the quality of his overall environment. It is an expression of the total responses among and between its components, and depends upon the factors, which can either affect the stability of the ecosystem or are capable of bringing about change in the environment. As the components of the environment are inter-linked and mutually interdependent, the change in any of them may lead to a sort of chain reaction in other components of the environment. Since the time man has started modifying the environment to suit his requirements, there has been a drastic change in the quality of environment. The environmental degradation which, started with advent and use of fire and agriculture in the initial stages, increased further due to addition of various gases and particulate matters resulting from various industrial and mining activities which, has reached its peak. The quality of universally available resources i.e., land, water, air has deteriorated to a significant extent. For all this it is man with his technology and activity has to be blamed for. LAND Most of the treasures in the land available to us, have taken millions of years to exist in various life forms on the earth; a variety of energy sources and other abiotic components. We can use them rationally and enjoy these treasures for centuries together, by keeping them even for our future generations. But if we use them we would lose them before becoming aware of what we have lost. Land is the basic resource for providing the needs of the people, but land is a finite, limited natural resource. During early times, the same land was sufficient enough to satisfy all the needs of people at that time, but today with alarming growth of population the same land is insufficient to meet our requirements, which have also changed with time and technology. WATER Water is one of the principle sources that sustain life on earth. It is a medium in which all living processes occur. Water dissolves nutrients and distributes them to cells, regulates body temperature, structures and remove waste products. Water has the potential for being reused

many times. Water is used by three major sectors i.e., public, agriculture, industry. Water is taken from lakes, rivers and aquifers for many purposes. Water is used in agriculture sector for irrigation and other such purposes.

VEGETATION Forest plays a crucial role in regulating climate, controlling surface runoff, providing natural habitat, shelter and food for wild life and purifying the earth. They provide scenic beauty, preserve cultural and historical values that are to be preserved and protected from ecological point of view. Thus it helps in developing the tourism industry, which is a major source of revenue for the nation. It provides timber, which plays important role in modern industry. All industrial units make use of wood in some form or the other, either in its manufacturing process or in marketing activities. ENERGY Energy is the capacity to do work, changing the physical state or motion of an object. The ability of human beings, to use external source of energy, to do useful work, allows us to make our environment more comfortable and hospitable. Fire was probably the first non-human energy technology used by man. Later wind and water were the external energy sources. With the invention of steam engine and industrialization process, use of coal as major energy source increased in the 19th century. Most of the industries use energy in one form or another. Hence Nature helps in building Human Wealth.

Q6) Define and explain Indian Ethos.

Each soul is a potential god: A human being has a soul, a spark of the divine. The divine resides in the heart of a person. The divine means perfection in knowledge, wisdom and power. Therefore, a human being has tremendous potential power of energy for self-development. When the God Touch is there (in form of Divine Grace), human efforts can achieve even as apparently impossible goal and convert the impossible into a reality. The partnership of god and man can bring about extraordinary or miraculous results. Only if man chooses willingly to collaborate with god and actively participate in the affairs of the society by right action under his guidance and grace. He can bring about only personal development. Harmony, happiness but also prosperity of his own organization and the society without injustice to others. Of course, Divine Grace works only when your self-help and self-efforts are maximum. God helps those who help themselves. Gods help comes as a rescue boat in the form of unseen hand, which is always behind you. In this way you can achieve extraordinary results. Gods grace is the power of God in man. Holistic Approach: Holistic approach to management is based on spiritual principle of unity, oneness, nondual or Advaita concept. Under this principle of unity the universe is an undivided whole where every particle is connected with every other particle. The Divine interpenetrates this Jagat like pearls on a string. Hence, entire humanity is one. Management must recognize oneness of humanity. Respect the divine in all beings. See your own self in all selves. It is said, Do unto others as thou wish that others should do unto you. This is the yoga of highest order. Management is called upon to follow whole-man approach to management and leadership. Let the inner being or higher consciousness assumes the managerial leadership to manage and lead effectively and efficiently (by combining both values and skills), your physical, vital,

mental, intellectual entities. Your inner being is the delegate of the Divine. It is a minute portion of the whole. Such an integrated human personality of self-developed manager and worker can assure best and competent management of any enterprise, involving collective works and efforts. The refined or higher consciousness will adopt holistic attitude. It will bring out the divine in the man. It will achieve perfection or excellence in whatever sector you work. We shall achieve peace, harmony and prosperity within and without, i.e., in our internal world simultaneously. This is the ideal of Indian ethos: Atmano Mokshartham Jagat Hitaya Cha. This is the motto of Ramakrishna Order founded by Swami Vivekananda. This is the message for all managers and workers given by the Indian ethos for management. Under the holistic approach management will not exploit shareholders, employees, customers, society and nature. Equal importance to subjectivity and objectivity: Indian ethos for management distinguishes subject and object. Subject is subtle and intangible. Object is gross or concrete and tangible or visible. We have concept of the third eye, the eye of wisdom. It can see even that which the normal two eyes cannot. It can see the intangible, i.e., invisible. Human and ethical values and qualities such as courage, vision, social awareness, fearlessness, integrity, pure and clear mind, truth, etc. are subjective, subtle and intangible concepts. These represents divine wealth. Value-based management is essential, to combine subjective and objective phenomenon. These subjective or subtle qualities are as important as money, materials, machines, information or data as well as human skills. Inner resources of human beings are more powerful than external resources. Japan could prosper in industry, business and trade due to optimum utilization of inner resources. Japan does not have coal, mineral and petroleum. Fortunately, India has adequate material and natural resources. Let us develop now our human resources, which have immense potential power. Holistic and valueoriented management based on Indian wisdom alone can secure managerial effectiveness and

quality of worklife and work ethic. It will also assure total quality management. Creator is subjective. Creation is objective. Insight i.e., creator is more important than Outsight i.e., creation. Our body, senses, intellect, mind, etc., are objective, seen, and tangible. But our soul is unseen, intangible, subtlest and subjective. Hence, wisdom manager/manager/worker is much more important and valuable than knowledge manager/worker. Karma Yoga: It is yoga of moral endeavour, self-less service to others. It brings about union of human being with the divine. Work is done as worship to the divine in human beings who is also all pervading in the universe (which is a projection of the divine). Gita evolves the moral and ethical theory of human conduct and expounds the ort of right living the doctrine of duty with discipline and devotion without attachment to work and agency (egoistic pride) and / or its results i.e., fruits of work. Do your duty without ego and without calculations of gain and loss. The memorable words of Gita To work only you have the right (as as agent of the divine dwelling in your heart) and you have no right to the fruits of the work. Let not the fruits of action motivate you. Let not the fruits divert your concentration on work. Pour your heart and soul in the performance of your assigned duty. Similarly, do not be attached to inaction also. You have no control over the future. Hence do not waste the precious time in useless dreams of future hopes and fears present actions. Do your best and actively live every moment of the present with the firm belief that future shall take care of itself. Concentrate your attention only on your present job. Develop the healthy attitude that fruit (Karma Fala) is given to you as Prasad from the divine. Accept it with Prasad Bhavana. Karma Yoga is a golden means. It preserves the spirit of renunciation without abandoning activity.

It is a life of intense activity and serenity without selfish impulses. Gita emphasizes that Swadharma (ones duty based on ones swabhava inclination and aptitude on for the general welfare of society and as worship of divine, as our offering to god. This call to work in the true Yajna spirit is an exhortation to support and actively co-operate in the Divines evolutionary design and to live with the mother earth, safeguarding her grand ecological balance.

Yogah Karamasu Kaushalam: Yoga means excellence at work. Seek to perform your assigned duty or work in an excellent manner. Kaushalam denotes doing work with devotion ands without attachment. Such detached attitude enhances its value and improves the concentration and skill of the worker. You work with smartness, determination and ability. Your head, heart and soul co-operate with your hands. You do not hanker over the fruits of the action. You have no anticipation of reward, or personal gains. You become a tool of god to perform the work. Any work carried out with full concentration, dedication and with all abilities that a person ha, becomes valuable and the worker also becomes valuable to others as well as to society. In TQM Karma Yoga and Karmasu Kaushalam provide valuable contribution. The extrinsic incentives e.g., money, other perks, etc. play a very minor role as motivators. Co-operation: Healthy competition is a powerful motivator for excellence and success, especially business success. The idea of cut-throat competition is found on the concept of struggle for existence and survival of the fittest.

Indian ethos says that for human beings (not animals) the royal road is co-operation as a powerful motive for teamwork. We are human beings having mind and power of discrimination.

Q7) WORK

MOTIVATION

Introduction: Technically, the term motivation has its origin in the Latin word movere which means, to move. Thus the word motivation stands for movement .One can get a donkey move by using a carrot or a stick .With people one can use incentives, or threats or reprimands however these only have a limited effect. These work for a while and need to be repeated, increased or reinforced to secure further movement

Motivation is also very nicely described in Vedanta. It says that it says that work is very natural for living human beings. They worked for their own development and growth. So Vedanta insists that let good actions flow out of us naturally. Right action, perform in an excellent manner will manifest the best of qualities in us. It will uplift the doer and produce maximum happiness to greatest number of people. Thus, motivation is internal and not external. Infact GEETA itself is example of wonderful motivation provided by Lord Krishna to Arjuna.

Definition: 'An urge to perform certain act(s) willingly and enthusiastically toward the attainment of some common objectives.'

From this definition, three points emerge prominently: (a) First, motivation refers to a person's inner urge and feeling. (b) Second, the person's urge or feeling must result into some sort of willing and enthusiastic action.

(c) Third, the action(s) of the person must be goal-oriented

Work motivation: Craig Pinder:work motivation is set of energetic process that originate both within as well as beyond an individual being, to initiate work related behavior and to determine its form, direction, intensity, duration. Stephen Robbins: work motivation as a willingness to exert high level of efforts towards organization goals, conditioned by the efforts ability to satisfy some individual needs. Thus there are 3 key elements in this definition: 1. Effort 2. orgnisational goals 3. Needs

Indian approach to motivation: Indian approach assumes that every human being is an integral part of supreme creator, Supreme Being, God or nature. He is potential God. He is on the path of selfrealization. In the sense that is setting his true identity and aims towards being one with God naturally, should not be treated merely as a bundle of animal instinct, vices and struggling for satiation of his material or selfish motives. He may be ignorant of his true self like he is potential god, but it is ones duty makes him realize his true nature. Once e realizes his true self, he will approach towards other human being sand the organization with a sense of service and dedication. It is necessary to give a person patience listening, understanding his problem and difficulties, behavior and suggest to him that organization is very much concern with his attempt to satisfy his personal goal, that achieving organizational will increase his chances of attainment of his personal goal. Personal goal and organizational goal should be aligned harmoniously. The person should be clear idea as to what is expected of him, what skills he should develop to attain his

own goals and through his efforts for attaining Personal goals attaining the organizational goals. It is holistic approach of motivation. The work should be meaningful organization him. He should believe that work would help him self-realization.

Western approach to motivation : Western approach to motivation believes that a person is motivated by a hierarchy of needs, ranging from basic need or from physical or biological needs like food, clothing and shelter, security needs, social need, ego needs and self actualization needs (Abraham Maslow) The needs are insatiable; they are ever increasing and after satiation of one needs another need crave for satisfaction. Mostly approach person cannot be motivated for higher type of work unless This present needs are satisfied. Every person is at particular level of needs craving for satisfaction.

Man is by nature motivated by the cravings for satisfaction of his needs. He is approach bundle of physical and psycho- social needs. Approach person mind is working at three level i.e. unconscious level, conscious level and superconscious level or conscience. Western thinking is predominantly based on the theory of mind, proposed by sigmund Freud and other psychologist like Alfred Adler, Jung, B F. skinner, Abraham Maslow etc. Sigmund Freud gave more importance to the sexual and aggressive cravings contained in the Id (unconscious level of mind), which are unrelated to he reality ego i. e. conscious level being related to the material world, it tries to seek opportunities to allow satiation of the basic instinct suppressed in the Id. Super ego or conscience is developed due to cultural upbringing and it determines which need could be satiated as per the socially approved norms or pattern of behavior.

INDIAN ETHOS AND MOTIVATION : Ethos has nothing to do with ethics. Ethos may be behavior that is not desirable, but it is behavior i. e. normal, spontaneous, unplanned. It is result of the lessons (beliefs, values) that have been stored in the subconscious, from the variety of experiences from childhood onwards like grandmas tales, discussions at home. Indian ethos is not Hinduism.because India is multicultural- multiethnic, multireligious. Behavior differ considerably between metropolitan cities and villages, between north, south, east and west, according to different religious persuasions, and number of other factors that affects culture. The only basic truth which has developed into the vast Indian ethos is that there is profound spiritual dimension in every human being over and above the physical and psychic dimension.

Application of Indian ethos in motivating the people: . As per Indian ethos to motivate the employees trust (vishwas), and respect

(shradha) is needed. The workers like to be recognized as self-respecting human beings. It is possible when the leader recognizes them as dignified men and women. At the same time workers like to see their leaders as person above average, with integrity of character (charitra). If he can command the love, respect and faith of his subordinates, he can motivate them easily. The subordinates expect equality and justice from their leader. They like to see their leader as honesty (satyta) that is truthfulness, so leader or manager has to earn these qualities. To retain the spirit of Indian ethos we should have used the word Inspiration rather than motivation. Motivation basically means to bring a change in approach & behavior in a person. In Indian ethos three paths are suggested in these regard Path of knowledge (gyan yoga)

When one understands the right and wrong paths and intellectually understands the importance of change, one takes action on this line. Training to employees can help in this regard
Moving one emotionally (Bhakti yoga) When some body is emotionally aroused or feels that he will achieve psychological fulfillment if he takes particular step, he will do it. Only this step should be towards change Path of action (karma yoga) When some one does something he sees that every action produces certain results or consequences-both good and bad. From experience he learns the cost effect relationship and he tries to take the right step. This first hand experience can bring approach change in him

There are five steps to motivate somebody1) Listen to him. Note his feelings first and then his thoughts (i.e. his value system). Try to understand him. 2) Put stress on his strengths or good sides. Make him aware of this and say that he can achieve greater things. Treat him on the emotional plane (earlier we had referred top this as Bhakti yoga 3) Now proceed from the intellectual angle. Discuss the pros and cons of his approach, his irrational deep-rooted beliefs, and help him to set the right kind of goal. 4) Now tell him the action step to be taken to achieve the goal. Only understanding some thing intellectually may not help one unless one starts working on it. 5) Consequences or the results of the action are also to be discussed so that he can have the clear idea of end results. He must have specific goals, not in the abstract sense but in a concrete form.

Q8) Dharma, Swadharma and Detachment

DHARMA: Dharma is the law of right living, the observance of which secures the double object of happiness in your own life and also the happiness in others life. It stands for all those ideals, purposes, influences, institutions, and the ways of life and conduct that shape the character and evolution of man both as an individual and as a member of the society. The openly spirit, righteousness (godliness), and fearlessness are the three divine elements of Dharma given explained below: Dharma is spirit (or evolves from spirit) in Indian ethos. The inclusion of dharma is like rediscovering a vacant upstair room in ones heat chamber. Do right thing (Dharman Chara), do good, be good and the whole chamber of our heart shines with Light of Consciousness. In dharma, not mere action but rightness is given great emphasis. Dharma stresses fearlessness. Divine touch is enough to convert difficulties into opportunities. Of course one should know the truth about oneself. Dharma is the inner law of ones life, the moment we are unconscious or ignore that inner law, our life is paralyzed. We feel isolated. Our degeneration is sure. No wonder we feel missing and incomplete. Dharma is ethics and spirituality combined. Follow your Dharma and it will protect you or stand by you. One has to comply with his own Dharma. Nobody has ever violated Dharma without ultimately courting disaster. Each one has his/ her own dharma. Dharma Of Management/ Organization Each organization and management is considered by Indian ethos as a living entity, having heart, soul and Dharma. The traits of dharma or integrity, e.g. Courage, self discipline, goodness, righteousness and all other essential and ethical values constitute the character of management / organization just as they are of the individual character. They must follow their own dharma (collective heart/soul), otherwise pay the price. A soul less company has no life. The spirit is the root or ultimate source of all values and character, which are the invaluable assets of the credibility and goodwill of individuals, organization and management. SWADHARMA: Gita emphasizes that Swadharma (ones duty based on ones swabhava inclination and aptitude on the work that falls to ones lot by virtue of ones placement in society) should be carried on for the general welfare of society and as worship of Divine, as our offering to god. This call to work in the true Yajna spirit is an exhortation to support and actively

co-operate in the Divines evolutionary design and to live with the mother earth, safeguarding her grand ecological balance. results are an inevitable consequence of wrong Karma.

DETACHMENT: Detachment is the: Ability to allow people, places, or things the freedom to be themselves. Giving another person "the space'' to be him or herself. Disengaging from an over-enmeshed or dependent relationship with people. Willingness to accept that you cannot change or control a person, place, or thing. Developing and maintaining of a safe, emotional distance from someone whom you have previously given a lot of power to affect your emotional outlook on life. Ability to maintain an emotional bond of love, concern, and caring without the negative results of rescuing, enabling, fixing, or controlling. Ability to exercise emotional self-protection and prevention so as not to experience greater emotional devastation from having hung on beyond a reasonable and rational point. Ability to allow people to be who they "really are'' rather than who you "want them to be.'' Ability to avoid being hurt, abused, taken advantage of by people who in the past have been overly dependent or enmeshed with you.

What are the negative effects not detaching? If you are unable to detach from people, places, or things, then you: Will have people, places, or things, which become over-dependent on you. Run the risk of being manipulated to do things for people, at places, or with things, which you do not really want to do. Can become an obsessive ``fix it'' who needs to fix everything you perceive to be imperfect. Will most probably become powerless in the face of the demands of the people, places, or things that you have given the power to control you. Will be blind to the reality that the people, places, or things, which control you, are the uncontrollable and unchangeable you need to let go of if you are to become a fully healthy, coping individual. Might become caught up with your idealistic need to make everything perfect for people, places, or things important to you even if it means your own life becomes unhealthy. Run the risk of becoming out of control of yourself and experience greater low self-esteem as a result. Run the risk of losing your autonomy and independence and derive your value or worth solely from the unhealthy relationship you continue in with the unhealthy person, place, or thing.

1. Holistic approach to Personality Ancient Greek and Indian wisdom and insight considered the human individual, a unique living entity having self-consciousness and human self a complex of body, mind, heart, intellect and spirit or soul.

2. Dharmic Leadership Dharmic Leadership at Work In business organisation Dharmic Leadership means the torchbearers as to the ethical practices to be followed by the subordinate. Dharmic leadership involves placing the satisfaction of employees as a key goal and developing company policies and processes around it. It involves creating an opportunity for employees to excel by taking the time to place the best people for the job. Based on love and a desire to uplift the quality of life for all, such leadership fully empowers individuals. Employees have an opportunity to not merely pursue economic gain, but to also contribute meaningfully from the depths of their being to the organizations success. The new generations of leaders are not satisfied with wealth creation alone. The new leader is wealthy, balanced and wise. She is not a slave to technology but masters it to enhance the quality of life. She practices the fundamental formula: The new leader seeks and promotes balance as a practical weapon to improve the bottom line, enhance material prosperity and increase the speed of innovation over the long haul. Creating an environment that promotes balance will result in more productive, fulfilling, loyal employees. Our industry has several inspiring examples of leaders (and entrepreneurs) who have created great wealth and opportunity, but we do not have many visible examples of leaders who have done this with balance at a personal and organizational level. This doesnt mean, however, there cant or wont be, soon. Already, there are many such visionaries in some not-yet-visible companies. For many long-suffering employees, it cannot be soon enough.
