I luv to have dishonest employees also wid honest ones..

hi guys,

So many times you have heard about morals; ethics, balla..balla … in business. Some “gyanchand” (people who gives free advice) might have told you that a business needs honest guys only .dishonest guys are like cancer to the business. But here I m presenting a different point of view that I learnt. Surprising but it is true that we need both kinds of guys when run a business. Any business does not ruin because there are dishonest people. "Business ruins only when you don’t know where and when the dishonesty is being carried out". strange it amy seems but I tell you an incident.
I was in TAFE and my dealer was Goyal saab. My first corporate management guru. I found out some discrepancy in the expenditure submitted by the sales persons. There were some fake items. I told them with excitement like I solved mystery of Bermuda triangle. He smiled and gave me more detailed fake expenditure that I could not found. He explained each fake item in the bills submitted and actual expending. I was just looking at me. He knew that what I wanted to say. That was “why???” he started..”chintan jii…their dishonesty doesn’t hurt my business till I m known to the frauds they are doing. ” he continues..”I know they add some fake items in their bills. But I also know that they do this because 2500 is not the amount , one can run his life with .. but I cannot offer them more salaries.. even if I give them more fake items will be there. These fake items give them job satisfaction and me outputs. And a way to control them. They know they are doing frauds so they are always under my obligation. They think that it is their extra income and I think that is part of their salary that I don’t give them officially. They are always under some fear of being caught. This helps me to pressurize them to give more output. When ever I see a sales man is not delivering results I give them hint that I may go for detail analysis of his expenditures on sales activities and eventually he comes under pressure of delivering results. So letting people commit frauds is also the way of control them... ”
Guys.. what I think is that dishonest people are like atomic energy. It can fatal blow to your business if uncontrolled but at the same time great control and better results if can be used in controlled manner. Believe me ..it is very hard to employ honest people. It is hard to predict human behavior in early stage of recognition. So unavoidable it is, to always get good people around but it is easy to get people and understand them and control them.
so.... Dishonest employees are also assets in a business J
