Re: Re: [MTC Global] Politicians need to be trained

Dear Sir, I think politicians need no training. No management Institute can teach
a person how to accurately gauge the public mood, gather available facts, stories
and incidents and project them to the public in a language that they understand
and follow. Politics is about power and putting it to use for public gain and
private benefit. Politics is in this respect similar to business. That which works
is that which gets votes in elections; in business the currency is money. All else
is subordinate. Politics is taught by the greatest school teacher-Life as manifest
in the people and their various collective groupings. All politicians know that
what matters are images and impressions and not real acts.
As an example,we remember Indira Gandhi as an Iron woman, we remember Nehru as one
who laid the foundations of modern India, we also remember Nehru for the Kashmir
issue, the Chinese debacle.

>Let the politicians first of all know the Etiquette, good manners and polite
behaviour in public and while participating in Legislature and Parliamentary  
proceedings. Let them first stop the habit of tapping the table and clapping for
everything and anything their leader says without even knowing what has been told.
How much submissive and humble when they come for a(l)rms of vote and how much
they promise in bundles which are never attended to after the elections are over.

How many times we have witnessed the MLAs and MPs yelling, arguing  and quarreling
with each other and throwing chairs in open air inside the Hall and walking out of
the proceedings if their desires are not met. What is it they have achieved by
walking out against some rulings. After they walk out, proceedings continue and
voice vote  decides the version of the speaker.

How much decorum the participants in a Board Meeting of the company follow and how
much appreciation and involvement they show in all "for and against" decisions
which the Chairperson takes. The Board meeting of a company  may be conducted with
smaller numbers but the decorum and etiquette has no difference if it is applied
to a Legislature or a Parliamentary proceedings.

How many will be willing to undergo management education, even if it is offered
free of cost and even if it is made mandatory. They will have their own excuses to
attend the sessions and go on ML. Their minds are bent upon enjoying their tenure,
enjoy the facilities and privileges, make a group of their own and fight for
nothing.

When Dr.APJ addressed the school students,  he asked the students as to what they
want to become  in future, every one started telling that they want to become as
Engineers, Doctors, Managers, Accountants, Teachers etc., Dr.APJ asked them as to
why they do not want to become politicians, there was no answer. Then he suggested
that our country needs politicians with good educational background to manage the
affairs of the country and take the country to a different pinnacle.

Barring very few contenders vast majority of politicians are either not educated
nor have  inclination to study. They make a cluster of like minded people who
would help them when they are in distress and who would become beneficiaries once
the said politicians hold some important portfolio in the party or occupy an
invulnerable position in the ministry. 

It is destiny that Education has become secondary for politicians and what is
required of a politician is that  he must wield importance in the society, have
dedicated supporters, be in the good books of the leader, be wealthy enough to
spend for elections.

It is good that our MTC- G is taking up for discussions and sharing of information
on a social cause in the interest of the society and the Nation. 
When we are talking about the need for politicians becoming profound in their
approach and getting management education in the interest of their own self and
the Nation, one of our Senior MTC member's remarks on a renowned entrepreneur
looks odd which is not called for at this juncture.

Let us learn to make the life like making TEA.  Boil your EGO,  Evaporate your
worries;  Dilute your sorrows;  Filter your mistakes  Get taste of Happiness.

When we as Managers and noted administrators of an organisation start mudslinging
on each other, we also become nothing short of politicians which should not
happen. Let us all join hands and help the Nation gear up for betterment.

With due respect to the views expressed above, unless we make politics less
lucrative there is limited possibility of improving the situation.
Unless we can do it, there is little possibility of getting respectable and
capable citizens getting into politics.

Dear All,
With due respect to the words of Sir.NRN, in case we have educated class of people
who are the policy makers we may indeed not need such an institute.
But looking at the present scenario, yes it is the need of the hour.

India needs leadership institutes for politicians:
Narayana Murthy


Mumbai, Dec.

In order to improve public governance, India must create
institutions that can train the political class in economics and technology,
said Infosys Chairman N.R. Narayana Murthy. "India needs leadership institutes
for politicians. We need to ensure that adequate training is provided to
politicians in the areas of macro economics, rudimentary micro economics,
international trade and on the role of technology in improving public
governance," he said.
