Quick Decisions ?

Today’s Economic Times carries following news :

Nitin Gadkari pitches for faster decisions by judiciary, banks and govt to boost growth 

Extract :

#   Union minister Nitin Gadkari made a strong pitch for quick decisions by the judiciary,

     banks and the government along with immunity from punitive action for bona fide errors

     to help accelerate economic growth, create jobs and combat poverty.

#  I am okay with people taking wrong decisions, but I dislike honest people not taking

    decisions,” Gadkari told the panelists and the audience

#  Further, Gadkari said bankers need to act quickly while the government should

    encourage them to take decisions without fear

#  He called for stern action against mala fide actions. “But you have to find out if the

    mistakes are bona fide or mala fide. If there’s a problem because of business cycles, or

    global demand and supply, we should not make them (the bankers) responsible. It’s time

    for the government to support them,” Gadkari said.

#   This over-cautious and conservative attitude is a problem,” he said.

==================================================

Dear Shri Gadkariji,

It is easy to understand your frustration at this “ over-cautious and conservative attitude “

The reason behind this attitude is :

No honest decision-taker wants to stick out his neck – only to get it chopped of , a few months / years later ( of course, after due “ witch-hunting “ by CBI – ED – CVC etc ) , for a bona fide and honest mistake

This attitude can be changed by implementing my following E Mail :

To Err is Human            [  20  June  2014  ]

Extract :

To encourage Babus and Ministers to take FAST decisions , PM  Narendra Modi must insist that they carefully " Record " on the files :

*   What info / data he wished was available for a better decision

*   What different " views / opinions " were presented to him for consideration

*   What " Data / Views " he would have obtained if he had more time

*   Who all , the decision might offend

*   What is the likely " Cost " of postponing that decision

And finally a declaration as follows :

“ THIS DECISION IS NOT LIKELY TO BENEFIT ANY OF MY NEAR RELATIVES / FRIENDS ,

  DIRECTLY OR IMMEDIATELY “

 

After all of this , if the decision appears to be " Wrong " in hindsight , it must be " forgiven " and treated as an honest error

To err is human  !

================================================

Dear Shri Gadkariji,

If  you propose to implement my above-mentioned suggestion , I am sure , you will find total support, not only from Shri Modiji, but also from all the bureaucrats

Here is the proof :

Only yesterday , in a conference of American Business Leaders in New York, Shri Modi said :

“  The economic reforms that we announced in the past 4 months, is just a beginning . In

    the months and years to come, you will see many – and much bigger – decisions “

And 2 years ago, Shri Modi had said in a meeting of the bureaucrats :

 “ If a decision is taken with honest intention , truthfulness and for the welfare of the

   public, nobody can raise a finger at you

   Something momentary may happen , but I am with you “
