CELEBRATE NEGATIVITY<br />
#20 November 1, 2013<br />
News about negative events sell. Films about negative ingredients<br />
celebrate jubilees and win awards. The public at large glue every day<br />
to their TV with their mouth open while their hand waits with the<br />
morsel. The negative scenes are so engrossing. Negativity is the top<br />
form of entertainment. A great time pass for the masses. A profession<br />
for the classes. Ask politicians in the corporate and national jungle.<br />
Feeling inspired! Keep doing what you normally do. Some where<br />
some time you may reflect it too. If you wish to upgrade your skills,<br />
cross check whether you are doing what others do. Match up.<br />

• Try to control/influence the decisions of the people under and<br />
around you. Never seek inputs from them. You know better than<br />
them. You are the big brother. Its your prerogative to watch them,<br />
catch them and snatch the initiative out of them. It won’t look<br />
brutal. Tuskers in India lose their ivory and life together. No one<br />
bothers. You are only taking the shine of pride away from people.<br />
They will live to sing the poems of your negativity.<br />
• Work hours, pay benefits, assignment of overtime hours,<br />
compensation and incentives, dress codes, office facilities, job<br />
requirements, working conditions etc. offer numerous<br />
opportunities for you to throw the spanner in the wheels. Every<br />
day will provide you great opportunities to make the presence of<br />
your power felt. This will benefit your people too. They will start<br />
talking to each other more. Their interactivity will improve. Their<br />
network will get better. Negativity grows in geometric progression<br />
when the large groups start championing it.<br />
• Transparency and consistency are dangerous for your<br />
idiosyncrasies. How can everyone be the same? God never made<br />
them. Why should you treat them all the same? You have the<br />
right to reward the merit as per your yardsticks of evaluation. If<br />
you treat people as adults, they will become more and more<br />
assertive. Bad for you. Use aggression to push them into<br />
submission. Let them understand that they need to please you to<br />
get their rewards. This much of transparency should be OK.
