Unless our elementary and higher primary schools focus on imparting value-embedded lessons and de-prioritize learning of superficial subjects, the mindset of our grown-up population would continue to be the same at the core. The content of our education system is the culprit. And what are we trying to say and do without addressing the real offender? Anyway, Mr Bagchi, your efforts are laudable.
Does he mean that ohter country men are thorough professionals? Non sense. India is better compared with other countries. This author has a lot of time to write such petty things.
We are living in a country where a teacher is paid to teach our children but she goes on CCL,the Child Care Leave,to teach her own children;not only this she can avail these leaves for any reason even for simply being with her children or to go on a picnic by saying that in this way she is actually providing the much needed moral support & the affectionate care to her children who may be even 18 year old. The poor students keep on waiting for their subject teahers in the school at the time of exams ! What Mr.Bagchi writes may be correct but here in India Boss is the only right person on this planet.If he wants to spit on you it is his priviledge & professionalism but if you even try to wipe his sputum from your face it is your unprofessionalism,incompetence and boorish behaviour ! Many of these shamelessly selfish,dirtiest opportunist & highly venomous professionals have actually looted this country ! Those who can not write even a small paragraph in Hindi or any other Indian language are working as the person to select announcers in Radio and TV channels.This is just for an example. Thanks.
In spite of giving your best with sincere intentions, it is very important that we also master the art of managing internal politics, else in a country like India where often the politics takes over the performance. In my own experience in Indian companies I have found that many a times your career growth depends upon whom you are connected, who talks what at the reviews and in the rooms rather than what you do, unfortunately even in the Indian companies who are often labelled as the best companies to work for this is rampant, while all will acknowledge this within their hearts but will never comment on this boldly. I have not read this book, but I will do so, I hope this is also covered.

Very true. There are just a handful of companies in India that are run professionally. The worst are the Marwari companies where the top man thinks he has bought you over once he has employed you and would ring you up at home even on sunday even- ings on matters that could easily wait until the next day. In such companies whether you are designated a senor VP or an office boy, the respect you get is the same. What a pity one has to put up with such illiterate but monied jute-bags.
In India professionla means you have doena PhD.In tecghnical education theoretical guys who never sold a pin teach marketing.There is hardly any representation in acdemic world of technoogy araes even,of hands on professionlas from industry and business.They are not only ignored but have been blocked by foolish rules of UGC ,AICTE and so on.It is time things are changed in interest of stsuydnets and country.No wonder theiretical peopel teach software programming.The only saving grace is medical education in India.So how can you build professionls in India?

Just go throgh the speeches of BARAK OBAMA where he admits that to compete with Indians American children should give more time to study isted giving their maximum time in playing video games. Will anybody tell what is average qualification of average of Americans. I donot think average is more than simple HSLC.
Our education system is not allowing us to develop professionalism in us. from our childhood we are told to by heart our study materials to appear before any exams rather than focussing on presentation skills and developing interpersonnel skill, that is the reason why we are not generating more original thinker in our society.
