Ethics and Graphology

105/100 marks, 5 marks for good handwriting!! Is a popular advertisement on the Television.

What do you mean by good handwriting? Why is it important? Can a readable, clean and

nicely stroked handwriting is good? Handwriting created a science …it is known as

Graphology being studied and Researched since many years. As per the changing times it

has created its own impact and significance. In this Era of Computerization, people are

hardly seen to be writing on a paper. Graphologists are the experts who judge the Traits,

Behavioral aspects and inclination towards individual’s past, present and attitude towards

future .Graphology is a well determined science studying the essential characteristics of a

human being. When I studied graphology out of my interest I did not know about the other

side of it, but later on I discovered that the world is very beautiful with different people, going

with different perspectives and Behavioral Tendencies being seen through their handwriting.

I collected few samples for research out of curiosity, and the research became more

interesting and even more interesting. It focused more on the phenomenon of Individual

difference in Psychology.

Handwriting of an Individual is linked

with his emotions; hence it is in

connection with the Limbic system based

at the middle zone of Human Brain. It

follows the process of the collecting

stimulus from 5 senses towards the brain and then the signal sent to the limbs. This process

happens in the fraction of seconds. Hence the writing done without conscious efforts lead to

show the emotional and behavioral traits. Few of our corporate clients use graphology as a

tool for hiring people in their recruitment process. They purposely take hand written job

applications.

The Ethics in a person can also be seen through the handwriting. Few Early entrepreneurs

consult Graphologist to know the life of their partnership firm looking at the partner’s

signature and handwriting or while taking up a new venture. In the arranged marriages also

the graphologist can comment to take right decisions. The school or college student whether

writing exam paper on his own or copying can be seen through the hesitant handwriting.

Hence the ethical person can be just observed by the hand writing itself.

Graphology has created awareness on the minds of managers and they have started

believing to know basics of graphology. Some people visit Graphologist to change their

handwritings in the best possible ways to remain neutral or good. This mostly results in

reverse Engineering. The science is known as Grapho- therapy. This therapy can only be

treated by the Certified/ Experienced/ expert Graphologist otherwise it may result in negative

order towards the emotions of an Individual.

Mind Matters!

Our mind matters most, because that is where it all starts: Our

perspective, thinking, judgement, reactions, self-worth, happiness. It’s

about being more aware, grounded in the present moment, with more

insight and balance. And this effects our connection to others and to

the environment. Yet how much do we give attention to our minds?

Mental and emotional wellbeing is an integral and essential

component of overall health. Positive mental health is a state of

wellbeing which allows people realize their full potential, cope with stress of life, work

productively make meaningful contribution to the community. Its fundamental to our

collective and individual ability as humans to think, emote, interact with each other, earn a

living and enjoy life.

Mind matters will work for creating awareness on mental and emotional wellbeing and

counselling support. Mental-emotional wellbeing & health are the important aspects which

are grossly neglected in our society. We feel that the awareness and support should be

made available right from the childhood age and at every important stage of our life. In order

to promote the Psychological well being and to address the problems of our daily life, we will

be conducting various activities throughout this year!

Activities in the form of workshops, lectures, conferences, meetings and counselling

sessions on sensitive aspects of life span!

Education: Shiksha, Shikshak Ani Shikshan Stress and Anger Management

Media and other addictions of adolescent age Balancing Act- Work Life Balance

Relationships: Acceptance OR Expectations? Positive Discipline: Discipline without tears

Why We Secretly Want Leaders Who'll Be Unethical On Our Behalf

We want to feel like good people, but we also want self-interested outcomes. Some leaders let us have both. How did Donald Trump emerge as the Republican presidential nominee? That's a question political analysts and pundits will be trying to answer for years, even though there's already no shortage of theories. But there's a relatively straightforward explanation for the Donald's unexpected rise that isn't based on opinion polls and doesn't come from the tectonic forces of popular will or political gamesmanship. It results simply from a feature of human psychology: We like leaders who will be unethical on our behalf.

CONFLICTING DESIRES, STRANGE CONSEQUENCES

[When] morality and self-interest come into conflict, we devise ingenuous solutions, one of which is to "outsource" immoral yet expedient conduct to others. Why? Because two powerful impulses that virtually all of us share sometimes converge—so we reconcile them, occasionally in strange ways: We want to feel like good people, and we also want self-interested outcomes. Now, the question of Trump's moral centre is—at least in the context of the current election—technically up for debate. But it's fair to say that many find his political success shocking given the statements he's made about immigrants, women, Muslims, other politicians, the media, and virtually any person who criticizes him. Politics is a tough business, but the degree of Trump’s vitriol and personal attacks is unparalleled in recent American politics. One well-documented source of Trump's appeal, according to his own supporters, is his willingness to flout (flagrantly and often) the basic rules of public discourse; some experts believe it's precisely Trump's knack for making "non-normative" statements—a neutral scientific euphemism, sure, but one with unavoidable moral implications—that, to some, lends him an air of authenticity. Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational and The Honest Truth about Dishonesty, has written about what he calls the "moral fudge factor"—our willingness to be a little unethical (but not too unethical) in order to maintain a positive self-view and still get what we want. When those two goals (morality and self-interest) come into conflict, we devise ingenious solutions, one of which is to "outsource" immoral yet expedient conduct to others. This moral outsourcing allows us to avoid the psychological and social costs of unethical actions—like seeing ourselves or being seen as prejudiced or compassionless—because somebody else, in this case one’s leader, is responsible

July 15, 2016 [MANAGEMENT DIGEST – ISSUE - 36]

M a n a g e m e n t D i g e s t

Page 9

for that poor conduct. This helps explain why many Trump supporters in the GOP primaries are reluctant to admit they voted for him; they like his views but don't want to be stigmatized because of it.

WHY MORAL OUTSOURCING WORKS SO WELL The classic research on moral outsourcing focuses on moral hypocrisy: Individuals want to appear moral while, if possible, avoiding the cost of actually being moral. The psychologist Daniel Batson and his colleagues developed several creative studies to understand how people can consider themselves ethical while engaging in unethical conduct for self-interested reasons. They found two key self-deception strategies at play: 1. misperceiving one’s behaviour as moral, 2 .avoiding measuring one’s behaviour against ethical standards Outsourcing immoral conduct to others lets people deploy both of these strategies simultaneously. It allows them to believe that they aren't doing anything wrong, somebody else is. So Trump supporters rationalize (though not quite consciously), "If Trump enacts my discriminatory views, I get what I want and don't have to come to terms with my own biases." One of the best examples of moral outsourcing comes from research by prominent moral psychologists Max Bazerman (author of Blind Spots) and Joshua Greene (author of Moral Tribes) on what's called "indirect agency."

Engaging in unethical behaviour ourselves damages our sense of self, but when we do it through a third party—especially one viewed as a legitimate leader—it doesn't feel nearly as bad. In a series of experiments, Bazerman and Greene found that when people cause harm, they often do so indirectly through others. Harmful actions carried out through other people or institutions (like a pharmaceutical firm selling the rights to a cancer drug to a smaller company so the former can raise the drug’s price, or a business selling land to another company to avoid cleaning up toxic waste) were thought of less negatively than harmful actions carried out directly. Engaging in unethical behaviour ourselves damages our sense of self, but when we do it through a third party—especially one viewed as a legitimate actor (a corporation, a political leader)—it doesn't feel nearly as bad.

GETTING TO THE GOAL, WHATEVER IT TAKES And indeed, another area of research suggests that our expectations around goal achievement impact our expectations around leadership—in much the same direction. The psychologist Crystal Hoyt and her colleagues found in several experiments that when productivity is at stake, people are less concerned that their leaders use unethical means to reach their goals. This is consistent with recent coverage in the popular press suggesting that jerks can be better bosses because they're efficient, that narcissists are unusually likely to rise

M a n a g e m e n t D i g e s t

Page 10

into leadership positions, and that we're psychologically vulnerable to trusting obviously untrustworthy people. Many of us want leaders to engage in whatever "goal-pursuit" best serves our self-interest, and we're more willing to make moral accommodations for those who appear hell-bent on doing that. It's worth mentioning, of course, that neither ambitiously pursuing goals nor making decisions out of self-interest are inherently unethical. But in practice, there are often more materially negative consequences to electing or hiring leaders who show a clear willingness to be ethically "flexible" (a Trumpism and another great euphemism).

Moral outsourcing is a thoroughly nonpartisan phenomenon . . . At times, we all prefer to do wrong through others. First, the same qualities you like—that the leader will do whatever it takes to get things done—will likely manifest in less desirable ways. For example, the leader may expect you to do unethical things and could endanger the company (or nation) by engaging in other types of illicit conduct than the kind that was initially (if tacitly) licensed. Second, the leader is a representative of your team, organization, or community. So while you may get a self-interest boost in the short term, there's a high risk of damage to your own and the group's reputation in the long run. There are also direct psychological costs to consider. Supporting a leader who'll be unethical on one’s behalf leads to a less authentic and integrated existence. Management icon and former Harvard Business School professor, the late Chris Argyris, highlighted the importance of ensuring that "espoused values" align with "values-in-use" in order to be an authentic person and leader. Moral outsourcing disconnects how we want to see ourselves from who we actually are, and this lack of self-coherence can have wide-ranging negative implications—including for our well-being and living a meaningful life. The point here isn't to gratuitously bash Trump or his supporters. Moral outsourcing is a thoroughly nonpartisan phenomenon, and it's worth noting as well that Hillary Clinton, Trump's likely general-election opponent, also suffers from a widespread perception of questionable ethics. The key is to realize that at times we all prefer to do wrong through others—whether you define that as letting the military fight unjust wars or simply as asking your accountant to do whatever she can to lower your tax payments. At all events, let’s just hope that morality isn't outsourced to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue come November.

One Good Message

Dear Black Money

I am your weaker sibling, white. How are you? I am fine here in India and I hope you are

enjoying your stay in Switzerland, Panama or whichever heaven you are. I am writing

this letter as I have heard that you are coming back to India. Is it true? If it is, then I will

suggest you to please reconsider your decision.

Black, do you remember the days when we were together and there was no difference

between you and me. We were, simply, ‘money’ without any discrimination of black and

white. But then some corrupt politicians and cruel businessmen separated us forever.

Since that day, you have been growing in numbers and I am left at the mercy of salaried

employees who do not have the privilege of you. People often call me No.1, but it’s you

who went places- from Mauritius to Dubai to Switzerland to Panama to Hong Kong,

while I was locked in FD, Post Office or in PF. While I suffer from high rates of Income

Tax, Service Tax, VAT, Property Tax, Entry Tax, you are immune to each one of them.

You will be glad to know that today, there is no piece of land in India, which can be sold

or bought without you. Be it Ambanis in Mumbai, Aggarwals in Delhi or Chatterjees in

Kolkatta- you connect the country. You have been successful in buying MPs and in the

past, have made a special appearance in parliament as well. Credit goes only to you

black, that today, even a government peon can become a millionaire. People here won’t

accept a girl, even if she is slightest of black, however, when it comes to money, they

treat both black and white equally.But, despite all this, please don’t come back from

Switzerland.

Black, if you will come back, do not expect to be of any help for poor. You will again be

routed at the hands of those special few on the pretext of schemes like MNREGA or

force you to convert into me. But that’s not the worst part.

Imagine yourself inside a BMW standing on a red light. A small kid, handicapped from

both legs will be knocking the car, begging for you. Your heart will cry to go into that

boy’s hand, but you won’t be able to. Even if, by chance, you succeed, you will be taken

up by the mafia of the red light and subsequently thrown back into the lockers of

someone else. Next day, you will be in an Audi, and the boy will be at the same red

light. You will exchange hands at marriages, on the pretext of dowry. You will be

worshiped in the form of Goddess Laxmi and then, will be used to settle the cases of

rape, while the girl will commit suicide. It’s you who will be responsible for child

trafficking- for all the mental and physical trauma of those sweet little children. People

here will use you with such hardheartedness that you will feel ashamed of your

existence.

Trust me brother! Don’t come back to India. The hearts of people, here, are blacker

than your colour. No matter whatever law they may form, but you must not forget that

you are only a ‘chunaavi jumla’.

Needed: Wise citizens, not smart cities

Degradation in the name of development: These days, much is being said about Pune winning the

race to become a smart city. It will be receiving extra funds for developing certain areas which will

serve as role model for a smart city. The present 'rulers' of the city were obviously happy at the

decision and a lot of media hype followed the announcement. The ordinary citizens might also be

happy and elated. Although we do not know how long the initial euphoria will last. One only hopes

that the funds will be utilised in the right manner, and not just fund the smart politicians who are

ready to make a fast buck.

Pune - then and now: As a fellow-citizen who has made Pune his home for over two decades, I am

very concerned to the point of being worried. Yes, 25-30 years ago, Pune was a clean city with a lot of

greenery and virgin hills. Summers were tolerable while the winters were really cold and enjoyable. A

typical Bombayite found the pace of life too slow. However, as a trainer of yoga, meditation and

vedanta, I found it ideal. So I came, I saw and I settled. Since then, I am a spectator to the degradation

of the city in the name of development. The green cover has thinned, pollution is palpable, air has

thickened, and so has the skin of many citizens!! Public transportation has hardly upgraded, while the

density of private vehicles is clogging the limited roads. The city has been 'invaded' by people from

other towns, villages and states. Public property is being misused. There is increase in crime and

lawlessness. Law breakers are becoming the role models, while the one following the rules is always

vulnerable and under stress. It is common to see that while ninety-nine vehicles on the road are

following rules, there is one undisciplined 'smart guy' rushing from the opposite side in the wrong

direction. The majority does not dare to stop him!! This is worrisome.

Fundamental shift: I am an optimist and hope that our city does become a well-planned, disciplined

and smart city. No doubts about that. But what is the fundamental shift which needs to happen before

that? How can we ensure success? The shift has to be within each individual, each citizen. The aim of

city administrators should be to support ideal citizens who are self-disciplined. The need of the hour,

therefore, is to mould, develop, promote and protect the law-abiding citizen. When the majority are

wise and responsible people who follow the rules, one does not need policing. Citizens forums and

NGOs should be encouraged. Damage and wastage should be minimal, while sharing and utilisation

of resources should be maximum. Then the additional funds and resources can counter-balance the

growing demand of infrastructure.

Need of the hour: Here I would like to list down all the likely solutions possible to tackle the

growing problems. Where possible, I will also give some examples of success. The practical aspects

have to be worked out and modified suitably as per the situation and your discretion.

1. Enforce discipline: The law makers should follow the rules, and enforce it on the citizens. As a

nation, we were very undisciplined. Now, if we want to create and sustain smart cities, we will have

to enforce discipline. The law-breakers should be punished. Again here, an ordinary citizen will say

that he has no authority to punish. Okay, then do some Gandhigiri!! Atleast stop the person who is

going in the wrong direction, and point out his mistake and request him to go in the right direction. If

he does not comply, use technology. Take a photo and report to the nearest police station.

2. Involve registered volunteers and NGOs: I know a group of students volunteering and manning a

very crowded signal on Paud Road. They ensure that everybody follows the signals. This group

reminds me that I need to be self-disciplined. It is for my own safety. This group is led by one Mr.

Bhadkamkar, who realised that complaining is of no use. He took responsibility, motivated and

trained the youngsters, and is leading this effort. Before this campaign, there was absolutely no

discipline. Let alone the old and senior citizens, even healthy individuals could not cross the road at

the signal without feeling scared and tense. Even a few vehicles who jump the signal can prove to be

fatal for someone who is crossing while the signal is green. Now, the youngsters who have a

fluorescent apron as dress and a lighted baton in their hand are quietly teaching discipline to the

elders. In addition, they are learning the same lesson themselves.

3. Promote self-governance: I think local self-governance should be promoted. I remember Arun

Bhatia saying that empowered Mohalla Committees can do good work, if the young and intelligent

meet together. This requires motivated individuals and team work. There are several examples of

success of such models. I want to share the success of a small country like Switzerland, which has

remained safe and secure inspite of it having not much military strength worth the mention, as

compared to some of the super powers. This is all due to self governance and voluntary participation.

I think Pune lost an honest and good administrator like Arun Bhatia, who could have made a complete

turnaround possible for Pune.

4. Recognise and reward ethical behaviour: I think the trophy initiated by BEF is one good example of

promoting ethics in Institutions. It is in line with the adage: Reward the good and punish the bad.

Same thing needs to happen with individuals who are contributing to raising ethical standards.

5. Think, speak and act: We Indians are intelligent and must think of solutions to our problems. The

world is looking at India for guidance, and we need to have the faith in ourselves and our rich

knowledge-base. The time is right and ripe for us individuals to take charge, form teams and go

ahead. An empowered leader alone can accomplish nothing if the team is not empowered. So, let us

empower ourselves and our teams, and accomplish our goals. Let's live in

Truth.

Satyameva Jayate!
