Be a Transformer...

We all know, the transformer works on the principle of Mutual Induction, which is defined as- two adjacent coils, electrically isolated and magnetically coupled, induce Electro-Motive Force (EMF) in each other with the changes in their currents. Similarly, for an organization, to bring in the change in the culture of the organization by redefining the core values, vision, mission etc., the organization should be like a transformer with the induction of mutual respect among the employees. The change brought in one employee inspires the change in the colleagues and the process goes on if all the employees are engaged with trust (magnetically coupled). The magnetic linkage and electrical isolation is the key in the transformer functioning which is possible only due to the mutual induction. In the organizational context, though there is a gap among the employees due to diversity of several forms, they can be well linked through the mutual respect. Once such a mutual respect is established, the trust becomes the core of the transformer to facilitate the mutual induction. Similar to self-induced EMF, self respect and trust also are equally important. Moreover, the EMF induced in the coils is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linkages. In the organizations, it is the motivation developed due to the rate of changes/challenges faced by the co-employees. However, as per Lenz's law, the induced EMF will oppose the very cause of its production. This can be attributed to the resistance to change in the organizations. Ultimately, the mutual respect & trust becomes the basic principle for all the organizations to become "the real Transformers in the business scenario".

Pollution-Natural Environment//Corruption-Total Environment

Pollution spoils only the natural environment whereas the corruption spoils the entire environment. It spreads like cancer to damage all the systems in place. To combat the corruption, values, morals & ethics are to be reinforced at all levels though they are primarily implanted at school & family levels. Self vigilance, if practiced properly, boosts an individual to make the the systems healthy & strong without the corruption. If corruption is the virus in the system, self-vigilance backed up with values, morals & ethics will be the perfect anti-virus.

The Government of India celebrates Vigilance Awareness Week every year in Oct/Nov months to spread the dream of corruption-free India. The theme for 2016 is " Public Participation in Promoting Integrity & Eradicating Corruption" as the government alone cannot achieve the goal without the effective participation from the people at large.

Here are some of the thoughts I would like to share on the above theme...
