RE: [MTC Global] Leadership in Indian Management Education

yes I agree! some people are thankless and they are interested in short term goals,transaction oriented. On the other hand some are good loyal. It is mixed experience...for sure most of them are shameless, but reach you whenever they need something forgetting healthy relationship norms. I agree with padma that good teachers in life who advised us at appropriate time we still remember. In a way they are our mentors and well wisherr. For bad there is no place for remembering, yet it it facilitates you to understand people and their colours. after all life is full of experiences and learnings!
 
By and large we should see better part of the person and respect and learn from  that, without expectations. then you are a' satisfied' person in life.....and move on.
 
Best wishes
Gopu

Dear Amal

 

Please do not generalize. I have been very lucky to have 5 teachers who deserve credit for making who i am in different stages of life.

one between 1-2 grade...two between  5-9 grade... one from 10- to 12 th  and the final a very senior professor from the day i got selected in MBA ..from  july 1997 to till today...and will continue to be my mentor.

 

Of course there are a number of average and bad teachers but i don't have time to remember them.

 

try counting your teachers ...i am sure you will find them too.

 

The problem is both ways.... if one wants to drink water with help of someone else one must learn to kneel ... and once the thirst is quenched ...one must look down on the giver of water.

 

But that is exactly what youngsters do. I have helped, coached others just like my teachers did for me...I may not know everything...but tell what ever way i can or introduce to those who can.

 

today they don't bet an eyelid when they have to get mean .....the shame is gone.

 

Yes the shame is gone....

 

So others take cue and don't want to repeat the mistake i did...

their are many of colleagues who now point this out and say see you were being so generous...have you got the result....

 

I get away by saying that i did what i thought was right....i am not responsible fro someone else's behaviour..i can only watch my own.

 

But Amal ...lets be frank....It is very painful.....Its like watching the plant you sowed...hoping it would grow and bear good fruits  going all twisted...

 

Not all are like that.....but majority are like that...
