How can organizational productivity be increased with value driven Indian management?
Ethical and moral values and moral character alone can accelerate the unfolding of person’s divinity. Effectiveness in performance of managers and workers is a function of values and skills together. A good manager has strength in both values and skills. We have management by consciousness. The purity of mind and heart guides the reasoning and intellect in all managerial functions particularly in human resource management. The following are the ways in which organizational productivity be increased with value driven Indian management:
- Â Inculcation of values by the top management: Every effort must be made by the top management in the organization to inculcate values. Values related to the internal domain of the business. i.e. interactions with the employees, customer, suppliers, creditors, public etc.
- In the corporate mission or creed values, vision, goals and objectives cherished by the organization should be described: Values should be the integral part of the organization. Value orientation through such things must e a programme-based activity with constant follow up and motivation through management and support.
- Members of the organization should be continuously exposed to spiritualism: Members of the management team and the union leader of workers must be regular exposed to spiritualism. The organization should inculcate the spirit of giving rather than taking in the work life. The individuals are encouraged to subdued their ego, overcome to some extent selfishness, anger, jealousy, greediness, and such other undivine elements.
- Employees must strive internal development: The employees must strive for internal development rather than only specialize in skill and proficiency. They should sharpen their mind and intellect. Pure heart and mind would influence and sustain enduring values as a basis for improved effectiveness in the organization.
- Emphasis on integrated personality development: There must be emphasis on integrated personality development in which enduring values enjoy the right place along the requisite skills. To bring about a radical change in thought, speech, action and behaviour of oneself needs discipline, sustained conscious and well directed effort of sadhana.
- Theories of self-man agent and self-evolution should be practiced
- The right to action but not to fruits of action must be stressed:
Then only our high consciousness would shine reflecting ethical and human values. Value driven management combined with requisite skills improves the quality of work life and enhances the reputation of the company. When management and staff translate value orientation into their everyday life’s, they would be better leaders and team members. They would also receive voluntary co-operation form heir peers and juniors in the hierarchy.
Values are the best means in routine life for purification of our mind and heart. Management by consciousness demands presence of values in our character and personality. Model and worldly behavior go together for human values because human values cannot be disassociated from ethics and morality.
