Managerial attitudes and it's implications

Professional versus personal life of Rajul:

Here, it is important to understand that Rajul is not a happy person and not satisfied with his job. He always thought that his job is monotonous with no creativity. Despite good earnings and high stature he had acquired over a period of time by impressing the top brass of the company, he was dissatisfied with his job. This dissatisfaction led to frustration, ultimately spoiling the environment at home. Rajul and his wife often quarelled on petty issues and he even scolded his two kids, one seven and other five.

Gradually, he started to think that his boring and monotonous work environment resulted in depression and anxiety for him, which created a bad environment at home.

Not only home, Rajul felt the pressure at office too. Being a senior employee, he was always answerable to the managing committee of the company. The managing committee of GT included Ms. Goldy (chairman), Mr. Gaurav (vice-chairman), and three other professionally independent qualified persons. To have proper administration, management and monitoring, the weekly meetings were held on a regular basis. The weekly meeting was chaired by Mr. Gaurav, while the minutes were prepared by Rajul. The meeting was attended by all three senior managers.

He recalls that a week ago, some incidents that occurred in the office had disturbed his sleep for a long time. The two issues happened one after the other and ultimately resulted in a major crisis.

When he was referring to the news relating to the Asian market tender opening advertisement in the local newspaper, Ms. Goldy approached him in bad mood. Ms. Goldy is considered a short-tempered person who has no control over the words she uses when angry. She demanded the annual financial report of the year that just ended. The annual report was supposed to be prepared by Mr. Ravi after consultation with Mr. Gaurav. Being a senior person, he felt guilty on not following up with Mr. Ravi on the issue relating to the status of annual report. Click here to read more...
