This theory wont work for Indian Managers. Good managers get beating and bad managers play politics and lick their mangers and win. In a place where ethics has no sense, his wont prevail. For exam-ple see TCS managers.. They expect their subordinates to be doing their household work. By doing so theyremain at Onsite for long years. Good guys return back to India on rotation policy.

Community feeling should be encouraged among employees - Manager or otherwise. If we --believe in a community-- then things like jealousy or sub-ordination do not become an issue. Our self-interest comes second and community interest will come first. Working for the greater good becomes the motto. To encourage community thinking within the corporates could be an interesting challenge for managers. Remember , leaders always lead from the behind -They are never at the front even in a battlefield.

Next question is - How to create community oriented culture in the corporate? Any corporate environment is strewn with gory tales of back-stabbing, mistrust and foul play. These issues become unmanageable and can potentilly lead to employees defecting from the company. We human do not thrive very well in a hostile environment. So how do you create a happy, sharing and freindly environment? How to create trust between the employees ( P.S. Managers are also employees. ) - First of all sense off justice should prevail. No body should be above the corporate culture and people should be treated fairly. - Humanistic aspects of situation should be given as much importance as rash and brute laws. It is okay to just throw a person off the company if the situation demands - but adequate explantion should be given to the employee. Moreover his reptriation / relocation should be considered as paramount. The expulsion should come out as 'Mere Transfer' and NOT CHUCKING. - Perhaps there could be some more --points-- but overall I'll say let's respect Human Beings as much as we respect the systems created by the very same HUMAN BEINGS.
