Management lessons from Omkara...

Maybe it happened... b'coz i've been studying mgmt for half-a-decade now... maybe it was just there to be seen... this once...

so i was watching Omkara.. and somehow... all along in the movie.. i thgt it had lessons on sucession planning.. or the lack of it.. and its importance...

like right at the beginning when saif is side-stepped.. and no1 talks to him abt it.. there's a dis-gruntled middle mgr.. (who essentially fucked e-thing up)

then with the whole song n dance sequence... where vivek fucks up... no1 took care to clearly mentor yr newly promoted mgrs..

and the problem... as alwsys lies right at the top.. where the bosses didn't take enough trouble to just ensure.. their ppl were managed efficiently n effectively... and i guess they paid the price by destroyin the whole pipe-line of future leaders..

maybe i am seeing mgmt into this. coz my thgts r tainted now or something.. with all this talk of MBA..but those 3 hrs sure felt like mgmt-talk to me!

yes, and at times its good, but times it takes the entire fun out of things. the movie doesnt remains a simple movie anymore.
everybody starts seeing frm their own prespective, rather than what the artists are trying to project.
but then we pay and we decide what to learn ;)
this engineering thingie has left me with tryin to apply technology at the most basic things too.
trying to simplify we are complicating things..
now.. there is some theory in mgmt related to this.. wat's it called...hmm??
lemme go n check:)

The biggest lesson in the movie is "Communication and trust"
Trust your colleagues and communicate if you have a problem.. Do not go on "hear-say"

On a seperate note, the only thing that was not correctly potrayed in the movie was the intensity of love.. One can go to such an extreme in life only if the love is strong .. That was left to the imagination of the audience
