All management gurus will tell you :
“ If you cannot carry out a threat when
chips are down , never give a threat to begin
with
That is the worst thing you can do to bring about a solution to your
liking
And , thereafter , no one will ever take you seriously or respect you !
“
CONTEXT
:
Today’s headline in Indian Express , which reads :
Notices to 23,000 housing societies , which failed to segregate waste /
Civic body to move court against those who don’t comply
The news report quotes Shri Ramakant Biradar ( Assistant Municipal Commissioner of G North ward ) ,
as follows ,
“ We tried to encourage the residents
several times but they are not willing to comply…. If they fail to comply, they
are violating the norms of the Environment Act….. and we will move court
against them
If proven in
court, the Secretary and Chairman of Society can be prosecuted and a heavy
penalty can be charged “
EXPECT THE
FOLLOWING :
·
Even though no Chairman / Secretary ( of any Housing
Society ) will believe that prosecuting 23,161 Societies is , even remotely possible ,
they will be tempted to resign immediately ( - a salary-less / thankless job in
any case , with criticism as the only reward ! )
·
No member will come forward
to contest the election to Society Managing Committee
·
Corruption / bribing will
increase dramatically , to get prosecution postponed
·
If a few court cases do get filed , these will drag on for
years , costing the MCGM and those societies , crores of rupees !
·
Who will get prosecuted in those Societies which are under
the administrative control of the REGISTRAR of Societies ?
WHAT COULD
HAVE AVOIDED THIS
EMBARASSMENT ?
Not a “ negative “ but a “ positive “ motivation ,
through implementation of my following suggestions ( earlier sent as email to
MCGM officers / Maharashtra Ministers ) :
IncentivizeHousing Societies
