Dear Vivek Thanks for sharing the wonderful article Yes, last week this was reported in the Press too A few thoughts came to mind 1)Many years back the trend was to have “Friday” dressing..the debates on what is allowed and not allowed would be there. The HR colleagues would carefully draft it to manage both the expectations as also face upto the Leadership questions 2) The attempt often to have some “fun n informal’ work atmosphere is there - most offices and employees plan a colour for the day etc There is also some song n dance at times Perhaps, our Senior Executive referred in the article has heard/read about such “best practices “ and wanted to make a point ?? Or did the person get a developmental feedback to focus on People ?So he went forth perhaps to change his approach and be Informal As reported, this was not a bank wide resolution/ order that was released all across as I can make out. However, given the current scenario wherein media/social media is thirsty for news —-it gets prominence !!! Nonetheless, a learning for all in these times on how to avoid getting into the limelight for wrong reasons

Very nicely written sir!!!

A very apt example of how power makes human being corrupt out of their own illusions and mandate other stakeholders’ to follow anonymously without the will, the majority of the time. That is why it is profound that along with the monitoring part (Affirmative or dissentient), the more important factor which plays a vital role at the workplace is how you motivate your employees with the emotion of EMPATHY and how they may own their respective portfolio rather than building the same by issuing a CIRCULAR!!!

Perhaps GM of Union bank wanted to make life of employees colourful by mandating use of colours in Navratri.Life becomes fun with over zealous actions of such persons. Surprisingly it was not reported in media. The story of old man rewarding young boys for taunting was interesting. It shows how reward and punishment can be used to modify behaviour. Thank you Sir for sharing nice blog . Regards

The black swan syndrome no more.

The unruly ascent of the masculine in our worlds has meant a disregard for mutuality in so many spheres. This circular is another sign of unbridled determinism of an ambitious person with distorted vision.

The blurring in positions of power are the new thresholds of our dystopian social experiences.

Not a matter that Lulu should be burdened with, lest his wings are heavy to lift.
