Why a driver’s seat in any vehicle is the first seat? This is because, a driver is intentionally placed in a highly vulnerable position, in case of an accident. So that the driver is cautious of his life, and the safety of all the passengers behind the driver is ensured.
Why the pilot of a passenger plane is not given the option to eject out with a parachute as given in any other fighter jets. This is because the responsibility of a pilot is higher as more number of people’s lives at stake.
It is designed like that, it does not mean that those people’s lives are cheap as compared to all other people’s lives, travelling with them.
Similarly, in an organisation, the head or the main owners or founders of the organisation has a greater responsibility. When there is a profit, they make money. But when the organisation is not making money or having too many commitments.. the source of revenue is low.. having a debt and the existing staff a burden.. the colours of the leadership are visible.
The main lead people are not turning up at the office to face the vendors or clients with whom they have commitments.. paying only those who are a good source of revenue or the amount payable is less.. or paying those who are threatening with dire consequences.
The staff started blackmailing the organisation for realising their payments. Some staff are irresponsible and insensitive using the resources luxuriously without concern for saving. Some are using all the permissions and leaves at their will. Some staff are sending unanimous emails and sharing their anguish and belittling the managers of the organisation.. the lower staff has the least respect for seniors, having known the situation.. using the conditions for bargaining their extra freedom. Some of the senior founders are tired and gave up.
Instead of trying to get projects, having no work some of the staff are finding a reason to have a party..even at the party, the mood is a mix of sorrow and happiness.
It is farewell time, people are leaving the organisation..many are searching for jobs during the office hours.. and negotiating over phones regarding the next position.
The finance department is having a clear idea of the financial resources. They know about the D-day ahead of everyone.. but the majority are in the darkness. Finding ways and means to put back the train on the rails is a huge task. The cooperation and willingness of all the team members are required.
Needed inspiring leader who is ready to sink first in case of an inevitable danger.. should be the vigilant scout looking for opportunities.. talk with everyone rather hibernating somewhere.
Heads of the organisations go to jails or get punished.. but every employee benefitted through a job - a stable and decent salary - are safe. None of the employees will go to jail in the case when things go wrong or bad decisions were taken for personal gains or for the existence and sustainability of the organisation.
None of the employees ever be ready to take equal responsibility.. when things go bad including the life partner, children and parents.
