"Diversity"
at Workplaces: A Boon or Bane? --
GRK Murty
Variety
is universally considered as pleasing. There is also an opinion
that "The most delightful pleasures cloy without variety".
That apart, biologically genetic diversity was found to favor
the survival of the species. Just as that, "diversity"
in the organizations is expected to increase the scope of
their survival. Firms that are moving in the direction of
creating diversity at workplaces can bank upon a wide range
of skills, including perhaps those which it may never have
to use, but are likely to bail it out when its highest probability
assumptions about future fail to deliver results. The policy
of creating more individualized employees, more differences,
and more varied ideas will certainly widen the management
choices. But, it also has a flipside: It poses challenge to
the management.

Managing
Underperformance --

Most
leaders react to underperformance in ways that only worsen
the problem. They blame the people for not being able to deliver
without bothering to find the reasons behind the fall in performance.
They rush toward the solutions even before fully understanding
the problem. Many other leaders are blinded by the belief
that they have a great organization that operates on great
strategies developed and executed by great people. But they
simply fail to understand that organizations are run by feeling,
sense and by the very emotional human beings. The persons,
who are prone to poignant boutscould easily distract them
from their jobs.
