     The Vipul Bank Ltd. has been facing problems relating to deposit mobilization and loan recovery. The bank appointed a number of commissions to go into the problems and find out the root cause of the problems. All the commissions pointed out that the delay in decision-making and faulty decisions made by the executives at different levels are responsible for the state of affairs in the bank. Mr. Shree, the Chairman of the bank, On 3^rd March, 2012, asked the Chief Personnel Manager of the bank to develop various techniques and organize the Executive Development programmes in order to improve the decision making skills of the banks Executives from the level of Branch Manager to the General Manager.

The chairman of the bank attended an Executive Development Programme during July 2012 conducted by the administrative staff college of India of Chairman of all the banks. He was very much impressed by two techniques in the entire programme. They are the role play and the sensitive training. He thought that he should educate his personnel Manager about these techniques should be used in the proposed executive development programme of the bank. He called the Chief Personnel Manager and told him about his experiences and ideas. But the Chief Personnel Manager responded negatively. Mr. Shree tried his level best to convince him and similarly the Chief Personnel Manager also tried to persuade him about the nature of those techniques and the nature of the proposed development programme. At last Mr. Shree vexed with the behavior of the Chief Personnel Manager ordered him to use role play and sensitivity training techniques.

Questions:

• Do you find any justification in the argument of Mr. Shree?
• Why does Mr. Shree form such opinion?
• What do you feel about suitability of technique for Executive Development Programme in this case?
