A
leader should be strict when the situation demands!
The Hr manager and the union leader, though a rare sight to be
seen together, came and explained the new pension scheme announced by the
government.
“What do we get by signing these forms?” the worker asked
again. The meeting was held to discuss about the benefits of the scheme. Every
body accepted and put their signatures with their photos. Only one person
refused and asked the same irritating question again and again.
Almost all his friends failed to convince him. The HR manager
also attempted to persuade him.
“Comrade, you will get 50% of salary and allowances after
your retirement. It also covers all medical expenses.”
The union leader said “Hey friend, this is a real good deal.
You get insurance and pension just for not doing anything during your
retirement life. You need not come to
office. Enjoy, man. If you do not sign, our company cannot participate in this
scheme because the scheme requires 100% participation”
“No. I’ll not sign.” He went away without listening to any
body.
The next day the managing director called him into the room.
“Please sign this form. This is for the good of everybody in
our factory.”
“Why should I? NO. I’ll not sign” the reply came curtly.
“OK Man, this is the last
chance for you. If you are not consenting, you are going to be fired….I mean
dismissed from this company so that others can benefit from this pension
scheme.”
Without even looking up the prodigal worker signed the form
and coolly said “Nobody explained me about the benefits in the manner as you
have done. Now only I could understand the entire thing.”

A leader should have only one aim:
success for his team; success for his country!
But no ego!
The party office was unusually crowded. There was an
election for the post of chief minister. The people were disgruntled over the
unexpected contest within the party.
“Will you win, sir?” the voice was very much concerned.
The old man in khadi dress looked at him, smiled and said
“This is our democracy. Anybody can contest.
If he wins, surely, we would support all his activities for
the development of the state.”
Again it was the same nonchalant smile.
But the old man won
the election because of the simplicity and the common sense he had.
He announced the ministry on the next day. Every one was
surprised to see the rival candidate C.Subramaniam in the ministry in charge of important portfolios.The ministry included not
only C.Subramaniam, but also the other opponents like M.Bakthavatchalm and
R.Venkatraman.
The old man was the then chief minister of Tamilnadu called Kamaraj who used the talents of C.Subramaniam, the architect of green
revolution and R.Venkatraman, the pioneer of industrial revolution in Tamilnadu,
in the southern part of India for the welfare of the public.. The trio,
as a team, succeeded in leading Tamilnadu to development.
*****************************
Do you remember Obama vs Hillary Clinton in US presidential
elections? Do you know what happened after Obama took over as US president? He
requested Hillary to lead Foreign affairs in his cabinet. Now Hillary is the secretary
of state.
Do we have such
leaders in our country, now?
