Lessons Of Management from three monks

Hi Folks coming up with yet another mind boggling session. Read Below ............

First of all before telling you about the session ,I would like all of you to watch the below video

Introduction about the above movie.
The film is is a Chinese animated story released in 1980 and directed by A Da. The story is about three monks coming to a monastery and learning to co-exist just like a real world corporate scenario where people from different backgrounds come to a common forum and have to co-exist.

so after watching this movie the obvious question which comes to mind is what is so great about this movie,we as a management student has a lot to learn from this movie .The lessons are briefly described below.
1.Attitude of each team member determines the fate of the task and decides the success rate.
2.Disputes tend to arise when there is more than one person involved.
3.Scientific and objectives measurements and instruments should be used to resolve the conflict.
4.one should use the innovative methods to come out of crisis.



Now comes the next topic about CVF(competing values framework)

Here in the above diagram there are four quadrants and the essence of management is to focus on all four quadrants simultaneously. mandi sir explained this concept by giving an example of driving a car. During driving we look on front and back both simultaneously similarly we need to focus on all four quadrants to improve the productivity.

To relate the above framework with three monk story we can think of when all the three people started working together they showed the people angle of it by not leaving anyone behind it,similarly the performance angle is shown by improving productivity with innovation of pulley system.

At the end of session we did a productivity analysis and we found out that three people while carrying a single bucket through pulley system is best in terms of productivity.

THE CRUX OF THE SESSION IS :
NO MANAGEMENT IS REQUIRED WHEN YOU DEFINE A PROCESS.
