Re: Re: [MTC Global] Management Lessons from Gabbar

Dear Mr Nagarajan,

What is right/wrong or good/bad is an opinion of the observer.
How he puts such perceptions to use must be left to him.

Yes, snake venom has been extracted for use as an antidote.

Defence forces have studied the moves of the enemy - howsoever bad, evil, etc - to predict and pre-empt his movesGame theory has been used to understand terrorists' (bad, nasty, anti-social, evil people) philosophy and moves.

Would it be easier to appreciate the Ramayana without understanding 'negative' RavaN? I am quoting this example merely because the epic tale is familiar to most people.

To avoid attempts to understand evil, 'negative', or anti-social people will prevent the learner of useful evidence and opportunity to become smarter. 

I saw many parallels in Gabbar's statements and contemporary business. His statements and acts were excellent examples for prudent management action in the appropriate context for students, managers, teachers, trainers, coaches, children and adults (that means everyone).

Thank you, Dr Jaganmohan Reddy, for a wonderful and useful / practical article.


Best wishes.

Thanks Mr.Reddy and Mr.Vinodh,
It is an inspiring quote both in Hindi and in English. "There is nothing good or bad in this world , only the thinking makes it so "- Shakespeare .
Even from a person who is depicted as a villainous character, there are lot of things to learn and practice from him. Don't we extract invaluable drug  from the poisonous snake ? It all goes with the person who perceives it in the right or wrong sense.
Very nice input for me for my knowledge sharing sessions. Great,  friends.

Dear Learned Members,
                                         There are two important works i would like to quote in this context:


1) HBS Press Book

The Pirate Organization: Lessons from the Fringes of Capitalism

Source: Harvard Business Press Books
208 pages. Publication Date: Dec 04, 2012. Prod. #: 10910-HBK-ENG


2)

The Mafia Manager : A Guide to the Corporate Machiavelli

  • Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin; St Martin's Griffin ed edition (May 15, 1997)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-10: 0312155743
  • ISBN-13: 978-0312155742
Drawing positive business/management lessons from different scenarios is  common place and I guess the way these kind of works are administered/the discussion facilitated becomes the key to the lessons that can be drawn.

Regards,

Vijay G Padaguri

I think Prof Prabhakar, is right we should not draw parallels from antisocial elements in Management . It might create short time excitement and but it would be very harmful for students whom we teach , if we start drawing such kind of parallels. They might start taking inspirations from wrong directions and world is filled up with such violent dacotic and terrorist characters.

Terrorist group in Middle East and Suicide bombers also are very efficient and do good management practices to ultimately make masses of innocent people die. Now should we start learning management and should our Management faculties start referencing them ?   

Please don't take this argument as personal , I have stated  my thinking on the subject and there is absolute no vendetta against any person.

Can (so called inspiring) management lessons from a negative movie character take one to right

Is there any management literature that refers to fundas of anti-social elements for training?

9 MANAGEMENT LESSONS TO LEARN from Gabbar:



Gabbar Singh is indeed the most quoted bollywood villian of all times. Not just this, with
some

seriously good script writing by Salim – Javed, there's timeless wisdom in Gabbar Singh's
/>

character.





Gabbar was more than just a ruthless Dacoit he was also a management and marketing genius.
Just have a look at all that we can learn from his enterprising character.


1. जो डर गया समझो मर गया !!

This is the most timeless lesson from Gabbar Singh. Courage and enterprise are the most important factors for laying the successful foundation of a growth oriented organization or a happy life.


2. कितने आदमी थे ?

As part of business strategy Gabbar Singh made it a point to understand his competition and knowing that his team was defeated by only two people he understood that even a small team can make a difference.


3. अरे ओ सांभा, कितना ईनाम रखे हैं सरकार हम पर ?



Gabbar knew the importance of promoting one's own brand. He put it very nicely. When mothers
put

their kids to sleep saying "so jao nahi toh Gabbar aa jayega" , you know that brand value is


built by shamelessly promoting your business.





4. 6 गोली और आदमी 3 बहुत नाइंसाफी है !!



Gabbar Singh had a sense of sarcasm and sadism. He created an illusion that his people had a


chance of survival. He kills them in the next scene. Moral: – Perform or you will perish .
/>





5. ले अब गोली खा !!



Sometimes in the interest of the organization the management has to take some hard decisions.
He

always put the interest of his establishment before himself. So sometimes he had to 'fire'
some

employees.





6. बहुत याराना लगता है !!



Gabbar was good at recognizing emotions and how to milk them for his own good. Through close


observation, he found out that Basanti and Veeru were madly in love with each other.





So, he motivated her to shake a leg by threatening her that 'जब तक तेरे पैर चलेंगे, इसकी साँसे चलेंगी '.
He

had a good sense of timing while applying the 'carrot and stick approach'.



He was also a lover of music and dance. Mehbooba Mehbooba was his favorite bonfire song.





7. बहुत पछताओगे ठाकुर !!



Gabbar never took superficial decisions. Thakur put him behind the bars. He made a promise to


himself that 'Bohot pachtaogey thakur', and returned from prison to obliterate Thakur's family


and chop off those very limbs that put him behind prison walls.





It shows his resoluteness. Very important factor for success.



8. तेरा क्या होगा रे कालिया ??



This statement shows how much employee feedback is given to the management decisions are taken


at the Board of directors meetings only.





9. तू क्या लड़ेगा मुझसे ठाकुर ?



Final lesson. Never underestimate your competition. Gabbar had robbed Thakur of his arms but
not

of his willpower and intelligence. He finally brings Gabbar to his feet and ends his reign.
