It’s basic human nature to exaggerate, spice up things and portray oneself in a better light, at times a much better light. Why only humans, organizations are no different. They also like to put up an image with which they want to be associated. The problem creeps when it’s just all say and no action.
One can go on shouting from a roof top and claim to be the sole guardians of whatever little integrity, ethics and culture is left in the world but it’s important to believe in it also and put it in action. Imagine an organization which is so blinded by the garb of this belief that it has become a breeding ground for everything that it doesn’t stand for. No file moves without signatures, signatures are obtained only after some egos are massaged, no selection is done without negotiations, collaborations and pulling of strings. The place could give the Indian bureaucracy a run for it’s money. However, the place preaches about the Gita and ethics and culture and values.
Well I know what a lot of people will say – “welcome to the real world”. My point is what’s the harm in accepting that this is what the real world is all about and we are preparing you for that. But no, how is that possible. After all we are the only one’s left in the world who still believe in such novel concepts. Well, did someone say Dissonance.
