A tale of two behaviours

It is one culture that runs through the organisation. Why not? The leadership is same and they have same policies running across the company.

Yes, mostly.

Here comes the leadership at a level other than a leader.

It is a tale of two newspapers from the same house. For ease I will call these as City News (CN) and City Business News (CBN).

CN is the elder sibling by a few decades. So when started CN acted like the big brother and everyone assumed complete protection and support by the elder sibling. Alas, it was not the case. Younger sibling felt being taken for granted and undervalued.

One day CBN challenged and decided to walk on own terms. The head of CBN decided, rebelling against the elder sibling, to have its own culture and behaviour. The result has been astounding.

CN still runs the roost due to past legacy and still acts as a bully.

CBN has set up a new team that is more passionate, customer service oriented, a better product and more disciplined.

This young leader will take march by getting out of the footsteps of the elder sibling.

I am watching it closely. Looks like it will happen sooner than later that CBN becomes a first choice.

How reality loses to momentum?

Truth prevails is an old adage that seems to be losing its relevance in the current sentiments. Still I am confident that "Truth shall prevail". Hopefully, sooner than later. The case in point is the investor confidence in the stock market. Indian markets are aping the performance of the stock markets of developed world. In fact, the possible loss in indices is reasonably predictable in the last few weeks based on what happened on the previous day in Europe and US. Are the situations similar? Are Indian businesses facing the same situation as companies in western world? Are Indian corporate giants going bust like crackers in Diwali? Have companies of great repute and history in India have filed for bankruptcy? Has any company in India reported loss of sales (top line) in double digits and evaporation of profits? Slowdown yes. How bad is India? Is it comparable to West? It has baffled me as to how convenient has it been to be infected with "western sentiments" virus ...

Can a yes be a no and a no be a yes?

This is a unique feature of Asian (and particularly Indian) that what is communicated may not necessarily be what is meant. This becomes even more complicated when combined with the expressions and body movement. I have been utterly confused at times when the answer is yes but the head movement is from shoulder to shoulder which to my understanding depicts a no. Is it because of subconscious disagreement or is there another issue that is linked to more social issues? In any case, yes or no is also a function of the context of discussion. As is an old adage in Sanskrit मौन स्वीकृति लक्षणं (silence is an indicator of agreement). Is it a universally acceptable practice? Psychologists, NLP specialists, please decipher for my benefit!
