An interesting incident at a client site that reminded me of the movie - 3 Idiots
I was at a client site recently for a session on managerial effectiveness for new managers.
During one of the tea breaks I stepped into the adjacent room of the training room coordinator.
He got off the phone and shared something which at once was peculiar, funny and also highlighted something about human psychology.
He shared that the head of their L&D team had just scolded one more of their team members for not complying with the request that had been passed on to the team from the CEO.
While the rest of the team members were certainly upset at being scolded, they were more upset that the L&D Head had never scolded the training room coordinator and his assistant.
He shared with me that to the best of his understanding, the L&D Head had never scolded him because he and his assistant had complied with all the requests on them and that he could also be assertive with the Head during the team meetings.
I remembered the scene from the movie 3 Idiots when Farhan and Raju Rastogi's faces fall on realising that Rancho had topped the exam and Farhan talks about their realisation of human psychology - "Dost fail ho toh dukh hota hai. Lekin dost first aa jaye toh zyada dukh hota hai."
The L&D team members of this client were echoing a similar sentiment - Humey boss sey daant pade toh dukh hota hai par agar apney team member ko bhi daant na padey toh zyada dukh hota hai!!!
Such are the ways of the world!!
