Coprorate Marriage ! Management Colleges may not teach you.Series 3


It may happen in our professional life that we set up a system and then on a fine a new boss come and he/she starts to criticize for what we did !!
Normally people react like – Try to create barriers to him/her through your influence ( Many a times unknowingly)
Start searching for a new job ( Thinking that we need to show to management that we were important)
Get demotivated and loose track .. Why people behave like this !!
The Article does not says how part but it says Why Part of this phenomenon!
Why !!
In the perspective of the New comer!
Whenever a new person comes in , He / She tries to stabilize in his role . In the process of the same first thing he/she tries to create is to make the system feel the presence of new person. We say this as Impression formation stage. The Impression formation stage is so vital for the new comer because the 60 – 70 % face of the person is designed in this stage.
During this stage lot of hick up’s comes in the way like the subordinates feel insecure so they react , boss feel that new person is making more voice as he/she will come with new plans so he will also react.
Major challenge is new comer’s subordinate and his boss who were speaking about him/her will create a new impression, which the new comer may not like so he/she may try to isolate the subordinate from his boss and give a different impression. The list goes like this !
The Only Reason for all these phenomenon is the new comer will try to bring all the good things which she/he enjoyed in his last system into the new system . we can say cultural injection. ( Its is like New bride trying to bring her family culture into new house , Indian context )
In the perspective of the subordinate !
It may happen many a times that the company might have offered the existing employee a higher designation and on a fine day he/she sees a new person . Surely this is the worst part !
The existing employee starts creating a bad impression about the company/new person
Best eg: A child when get married the in laws may get irritated but they don’t show anger to the child but they do it to the new bride!!
The subordinate may either try to push him out or move out in short “ New marriage “ phenomenon . Just think of the newly married couple in a family ! The in laws may try to create barrier even though they like the bride initially .
All these are due to “ Insecurity they feel “
In the perspective of organization !
Even though your boss might have offered you a higher position , his postion may also be at stake this is due to delivery expectation in his job profile. The person may not be in a position to offer the agreed role to new person because he might not be in a position to substantiate to himself or to higher authorities that they will perform . Hence thee reliability factors matter Its like this “ Will you take chance if you are sitting in a highly challenging role “
Thus all these happens because of lack of reliability or Validity henc eat your stage you need to create these two concepts .
It is as simple as giving financial managers role to new bride by her husband which his inlaws may not like …….. ( Indian context)
In simple words compare your self as a family member of a newly married couple and fit your self to the role which you play in company … Then understand Its so simple !!
In short why people react in new situations are to survive and why new situations are created is also to survive
“ Marriage is made to build relation not to Break “.
