Mr. Madan, a finance executive in Goodwill Company Ltd., is working with this company for the last six months. He comes from a foreign management institute, with an MBA in Finance. Being young, ambitious and hardworking, he does not want to waste a single minute of his work-schedule.
Mr. Kumar, a senior colleague of Mr. Madan, is working for the last twenty years at Goodwill Co. Ltd. He is to retire after 6 months. Mr. Kumar handles only the payroll and therefore has got considerable leisure time. These days, he has started visiting Mr. Madan’s cabin too often. He visits him without any notice.
Mr. Madan feels that Mr. Kumar is wasting his time. It is difficult or rather impossible for Mr. madan to tell Mr. Kumar directly that he should not disturb him. Mr. Madan has thought of many alternate solutions, but could not decide on anything.
Mr. Kumar makes political stories about the internal environment within the company and also about, gossips while sitting in Mr. Madan’s room. Of late, Mr. Madan’s colleagues have started teasing him and also having suspicious looks.
Q. How would you avoid Mr. Kumar, if you were Mr. Madan?
