Personnel Management by Anekāntavāda

state of equanimity, tranquillity, and analytical and objective ability. This kind of development of his personal behaviour results into: (a) Sharper grasping about others. (b) Deeper and multi-dimensional understanding of others. (C) Balanced and unbiased or unprejudiced attitudes towards others. (d) Confidence and clarity about self-strength and knowledge about
his own weaknesses. (e) Sense of belonging for the people, and
Sense of empathy for the people. These personal qualities, and many others, help him to manage the people around him-his subordinates, his business competitors, government officials and
even his superiors too. (II) Personnel management :
With this self-developed behaviour under the process of Anekāntavādaor multi-dynamics, a manager cultivates or at least begins to cultivate his dynamic vision or a multi-faceted approach, which helps him to deal with the people in a substantial friendly manner, but with a clear determination of achieving the objectives of his organisation. Of course this is not a difficult state for a Personnel Manager, if he really practices Anekāntavāda for a reasonable period. The minimisation of ‘rāga'(attachment) towards himself and the dveșa (aversion) towards others bring him closer to the hearts of his people and, therefore, an open atmosphere emerges which makes all people comfortable and fearless, including himself, as well. Care the people - your specific resources:
The people need to be really cared, as they are “human being”. A manager trained in Anekāntavāda observes respects, esteems, empathy, dignity, non-violence, appreciation and non-fanatic approach towards his people. And in turn, the people, perhaps after some time, reciprocate accordingly and thereby a congenial environment of coexistence develops. Complexities in relationships dissolve with a lapse of time.
Whether the person you are dealing with is a sweeper, an attendant or a supervisor or even your chairman, you maintain your dignity while addressing or talking to that person, as you have respect
