Multi-dimentional Reflections on Anekāntavāda
27
suppression of fellow beings is not a long-term policy and ultimately the authority will be put into tension.
Modern philosophy is the philosophy of participation, which means the building of mass consciousness from grass root level. The leader is he, who understands the mass and changes the mass consciousness by dialoguing with love and considerations. This policy of Anekāntavāda is the policy of good for all and not good for one. It is a policy of unity and harmony. It's a policy of sharing. 4. Management and Anekāntavāda
Management is managing the people. Managing people means understanding and motivating people. Even in hierarchy of management the critical task of top management is to co-ordinate various departments and to reduce inter-rivalry of inter-departments by continuously holding round-table conferences and explaining each other's departmental policy. Motivation means to move others. No motivation can be compulsory. The first task of motivation is to understand motives of others and the second task of motivation is to make others see differently by leading him to a new insight. It is to make change in his motive and intention. That is the task of Anekāntavāda.
The modern trend of Management is for team-building, management by objectives, participate management, sensitivity training, organisation development and quality circles are different methodologies for team-building. Productivity cannot be generated without team building. Each individual and his department are brought together and made to share their viewpoints and harmony of all the views are produced. Anekāntavāda is also a policy of team building for harmony of conflicting views.
Conflict Management is a modern thrash. A resolution of conflicts is an art and technique. It is the art of bringing conflicting parties on one table and making them share and encourage them to resolve the issues by finding alternative ways. Anekāntavādais conflict resolution technique. In conflicts each man lives in his own island and refused to negotiate with others. The first task of Anekāntavāda is to teach him his own island and to come on one table to share and to understand viewpoints of one another and come out with the harmony or a team.
