Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

L & T : Circa 1982

 L & T :  Circa 1982

 

For 8 years ( 1979 – 1987 ) , I was General Manager ( Powai ) at L&T’s Mumbai factory.

At that time , that factory employed, approx.. 5,000 unionized workers and 2,000 + Supervisory / Managerial staff

During that tenure , with the whole-hearted support of the then L&T Chairman , Shri N M Desai , I had launched a “ Worker Participation in Management “ program .

To encourage  “ Shop Supervisors “  to embrace this “ Act of Faith “, among many initiatives  I also used to distribute among them , some motivational literature

One such book which I distributed  was , “ The Incredible Japanese “ , authored by  M K Rustomji

Find below  :

Ø  Book Cover

Ø  My covering letter

Ø  A diagram of my concept of “ Worker Participation “ in the form of a Pyramid.

Notice that it consisted of 4 stages, spanning 19 years of unrelenting / sustained effort to change the “ Adversial Mindset “ of  Managers / supervisors Vs unionized workers
