அகலாது அணுகாது தீக்காய்வார் போல்
இகல்வேந்தர்ச் சேர்ந்தொழுகு வார்.
During winter and cold days, people used to sit near fire place to warm themselves. People do not go near to the fire or keep far away from it. They maintain a comfortable distance. Same way, if anybody is working with the King, he should not go nearer to him or keep far away from him. He should maintain comfortable distance. Though he mentions about the King, it is applicable to all top bosses in the Government and Corporate sector.
We have seen several times, some of the Government officers try to please their political or bureaucratic bosses by remaining very close with them. When something goes wrong or when the leadership changes, these people are thrown away or put to lot of inconvenience.
Hence, this Thirukkural is more relevant for the modern day management.
Very nice initiative sir. Keep it up.

ReplyDeleteEye contact while smiling and speaking from the bottom of the heart denotes truthfulness.
Maintaining a safe distance from the boss is the secret of success.
While climbing the ladder of success, the climber should ensure his safety first.
There is a saying "Never walk ahead of the Boss and behind a Donkey, both are dangerous" If you walk before your Boss, you will be sacked for overriding him. If you walk behind a Donkey, you will be kicked.
great going......

Sir, when I’m reading your explanation about this Kural, immediately recalled a Song from Tamil Super Star film BABA.
