WORK CULTURE

WORK CULTURE:
Few years back, a dynamic engineer was appointed as managing director of Rourkela steel Plant, a PSU under -Steel Authority of India. He moved around different departments of the steel plant to find out why the company with more than the required work force, was a loss making one? When he visited the steel plant on a fine winter morning , he observed a festive atmosphere amongst the workers and officers. Majority of the workers and officers were taking tea and reading news papers in side and out side their respective office or work place.
The first step he took was to stop entry of news paper hawkers in side the steel plant office and work place. This was one of his few steps to bring back the discipline and a better work culture amongst the officers and workers.
There were lots of resentments from officers and union office people but he struck to his orders and that was the beginning of turn around in Rourkela Steel Plant, which then started making profits.
The name of that gentleman is Dr. Sanak Mishra. He is now a retired person .Even though he never liked me during my tenure as a doctors still than I liked his way of bringing people in line through tough means which most Indians need. Reading news paper during working hours is a big nuisance in India.
