Increasing number of individuals, sitting in fairly influential positions in their respective organisational hierarchy, have been coming under the scanner on charges of corruption and nepotism.
The latest individual who has come under a cloud, in Kerala, is the state's Information Officer who's alleged to have influenced the investigating officer looking into the details of a land allotment case involving VS Achuthanandan, during his tenure as chief minister!
Why do such things happen? It's common knowledge that there are unscrupulous guys, who're willing to sell themselves, to do anything and everything for their bosses and acquire the crumbs of office, in return, as gratification. In the bargain, what they suppress is the subsequent lack of faith and respect for one another! For the superior, it's the apprehension that the guy could go against him when he gets a new boss while it's the guilt factor that could be the reason for the subordinate - the result is, without doubt, a trust deficit in the relationship.
In forging such unholy relationships, merit gets trampled upon and mediocrity prevails. A 'yes man' is preferrable to carry out one's agenda and if his weaknesses are also known, then his loyalty is assured for life! But what's the result?
Such guys are unaware of their organisational requirements and they're incapable of registering ominous signs of an impending disaster whereas, a professionally sound guy would have his organisational well being uppermost in his mind! And he wouldn't hesitate to take hard decisions for the sake of his organisation much to the dislike of his superior!!
Tailpiece.
To bring about a drastic change in this regard requires a change in attitude. Knowledge and selflessness are its essential ingredients!
