WANT TO BUILD INTEGRITY? 7 EASY STEPS

Step 1:– Fulfill Your Promises

The first step towards building the integrity is to keep the promises that a person has made. If a person is not sure that he will be able to meet his promise, then he/she should not affirm to it.

For Example, If a person has promised to attend an organisational event, then he/she should definitely attend that event without any fail. This will depict that he/she is a person of words, who keep all his promises which will help in achieving a high respect in the organisation.

Step 2:– Keep your Appointments

The second step towards the evolution is to be on time in all meetings as it describes punctuality and responsiveness of a person.

For Example, If a person has a meeting scheduled at 6 PM, then he should be present there by 5:50 so that there is no delay in meeting due to that person. Reaching a meeting after the scheduled time of commencing, act as a barrier in the process of building high integrity and results in bad image with other members present in that meeting.

Step 3:– Get Comfortable With Saying “No”

The next step towards building integrity is that a person should have guts to say that he will not be able to do a work. If he will keep on saying ‘yes’ to all the work, then he will face a pressure of doing all the tasks and will not be able to perform any of that task properly.

For Example, if a person knows that a task already given to him will consume a day and need to be submitted the next day , in this situation if  he is asked to do some work of his team member also, then he should not agree to do it, telling that he already has some work pilled up .

Step 4:– Examine Your Reaction In Tough Situations

This step depicts that a person should record that how he reacts in different situations and should analyse the reason for that reaction. This will help him to analyse that how he can deal with the matter in a better manner.

For Example, If a person feel panic with deadline coming closer, he should take a note of it and should work in finding a solution of solving this problem. He should analyse that how he could have handled the situation in a  better manner.

Step 5:– Your Attitude towards Money

This step deals with analyzing that what is the worth of money in the actions of a person.

For Example if a person is doing a work for sole purpose of earn money, then the person is said to be of low integrity but if he values his goals more than money, then he is said to be a person of high integrity.

Step 6:– Define Your Values And Vision

This step depicts that a person need to have a clarity about individual goals and values and should analysing that how a company and that person can play a crucial role in achieving the goals and vision of each other. This will bring a confidence in the person that the organisation will bring him close to his goals which will motivate him to perform better.

For Example, if a person is not clear with his goals, he will doubt his decision and will not be able to perform well. He will have a low will to perform and will not be able to perform with his full callable  which  is a barrier in effectively and efficiently achieving the goals of that organisation.

Step 7:– Stay Committed

The last step towards building a high integrity is that the person need to have faith in himself and his decisions. He should not get demotivated from the challenges and should keep on giving his best and he will surely be able to achieve his goals.

For Example, An employee can’t fulfill all his goals on the first day of his job. There is a requirement of firm determination and devotion of that employee towards work which makes it possible that he the vision with which he has joined that organisation.

1.Put Yourself in Their Shoe:-

It’s not wrong to stick to your ground but the negotiator should try to keep himself/herself in the place of other parties involved in negotiation. He/she should visualize the situation from another’s perspective and should understand that the other parties also have some restrictions that are acting as a barrier in making the deal successful.

3.Know Their Interest:-

The negotiator should try to analyse what is compelling the party to make that deal and how he/she can be convinced to conclude the deal in favor of the negotiator.

WANT TO KNOW HOW BILL GATES NEGOTIATES ?

1. Be Less Emotional:-

Once Gates told he is successful in negotiations when the other party is emotional because he is “kind of less emotional.” The fact that Gates said he is less emotional rather than unemotional reveals an important distinction. “He obviously knows that feelings are important when dealing with other people, especially in a negotiation

How to Improve Your Emotional Intelligence for Business

2. Listen, then give your  perspective:-

Gates is known for his negotiation skills , which years ago he showed off during a tense encounter with Apple Founder Steve Jobs. Just before launching Windows, Jobs and Gates were butting heads. Jobs claimed Windows was a copy of Apple’s operating system. The wrinkle though was that Apple had “liberally borrowed” programming from Xerox.

The two founders needed to come to an understanding about the provenance of their competing operating systems. Gates went to Apple’s headquarters and Jobs lambasted him in front of Apple executives. In one of his infamous emotional outbursts, Jobs yelled, “You’re ripping us off. I trusted you, and now you’re stealing from us!”

That’s when Gates grabbed the upper hand. Instead of screaming back at Jobs, Gates gave his perspective in a tranquil manner: “I think it’s more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox, and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out you had already stolen it,” he said.

Gates tapped into a key tenet of emotional intelligence: He stayed poised in a high pressure situation. His calm demeanour helped to placate Jobs, and the two men hashed things out.

PRODUCTIVITY TIPS FOR PROCRASTINATORS

1. MAKE AN ATTRACTIVE TO-DO LIST

We often make a to-do list but the point we mostly miss out on is making it attractive and that’s the reason why to-do list fail. But, there is one way to make the list attractive and that is by making it more specific and actionable.

For example, instead of writing doing the workout, be more specific and write wearing workout clothes, which one is easy and attractive? Hope you got my point.

2. BREAK IT INTO SMALL PIECES.

The most common reason we procrastinate is we get overwhelmed by the size of the task and the time it will require to finish that task.

Thus try to break down your task into very small pieces that would be super easy for performing.

3. USE THE 10 MINUTE RULE

If the work is overwhelming or you can’t give a start and procrastinate, tell yourself that you are going to do it only for 10 minutes. Then once you get started you will be much more likely to keep going. This is a highly effective hack that helps break the pattern of stalling or dreading work.

4.REWARD YOURSELF

Rewarding yourself will always work best for you, what you have to do is just set a reward for accomplishing a task and if a task is completed get that reward, and if not don’t reward yourself.

Rewarding yourself will make it attractive to do and at the same time, you will feel satisfied for getting your favorite thing as a reward.

How to start a Small Business in India

We must have thought once in our lifetime about starting our own business, we may also have hundreds of amazing company ideas and have gained a lot of knowledge in the process. However, if you have no prior expertise or skills in this industry, launching a new firm is difficult.

What things you should consider before starting your own business?

Doing business entails numerous components such as customer service, public image, loyalty, and brand value, among others. As a result, anyone considering starting a new firm should think about all of this before getting started. As a result, before launching a small business in India, an entrepreneur should examine the following things.

The majority of people dream of starting a business, but few of them ever take the first crucial step. As a result, anyone who is contemplating or has an idea for a business should take the first step toward putting it into action. Simple steps could include things like starting to save, creating a business plan, and collaborating with various stakeholders.

Make a Plan for your Business

All the steps that you have to take to start a new business, the business plan contains all of the information needed to put the business idea into action, such as the type of business, nature of the business, and the type of business entity required, such as a sole proprietorship, joint-stock company, or partnership firm. A business strategy can also assist you in proper implementation while also coping with the changing environment.

A firm can only be sustained by the entrepreneur’s or businessmen’s original investment. It is critical to define the sort of source, such as retained earnings, loans, or outside investment, ahead of time. Furthermore, the source of funds must be determined ahead of time. It is strongly advised that the entrepreneur invest his or her own money as a first investment, as this will ensure that he receives the most reward for all of his hard work later on when the business succeeds.

Maintain positive relationships with people in your line of work

Every second of doing business is like learning something new. It is critical that you make contact with at least a few people who work in the same field as you. It will keep you up to date on the newest advancements, new government rules, and how to solve company challenges, among other things. It is also advised that you should have healthy and fair competition rather than taking unfair advantage of company opportunities.

Get a Domain & Build a Website

Those were the days when direct contact and direct marketing were critical to corporate success. In the traditional way of doing company, which is highly expensive, a substantial investment is necessary. From now on, we should start by establishing an online presence through the creation of a website, SEO, and internet marketing, among other things. A company can now sell its items thousands of miles distant via the internet. This form of business requires minimal infrastructure, making it a viable choice for small firms with limited capital.

Create a Social Media Presence

Apart from having an online presence, having a social media presence on numerous platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and others is also essential. Although an online presence is used to sell items or services, a social media presence will aid in the development of a brand image, customer relations, and the expansion of client reach.

People will not go straight to your web sites, but having a social media presence will assist you in transferring followers from social media to your business model.

Set your Goals

Setting goals is critical when running a business. I’m not talking about long-term objectives here, but rather short-term objectives. Setting weekly and monthly goals is critical for achieving long-term goals when beginning a business since it helps to maintain our motivation and confidence at regular intervals. Setting a benchmark for this week’s sale, determining the number of complaints to be resolved this month, or raising client numbers to a certain level are all examples of short-term goals.

Continue to try new things

Every entrepreneur should be willing to test new things and study how the market or the customer reacts to them before making changes. Because the market is incredibly dynamic and trends change frequently, an entrepreneur should never assume that his or her business is performing well.

HEALTH AND COVID-19

“The human body has been designed to resist an infinite number of changes and attacks brought about by its environment. The secret of good health lies in successful adjustment to changing stresses on the body.” – Harry J. Johnson

Coronavirus has become a worldwide concern for everyone. The virus not only demands to stay indoors but also to take precautionary measures related to hygiene and sanitation.

Added to the fear of contracting the virus in a pandemic such as COVID-19 are the significant changes to our daily lives as our movements are restricted in support of efforts to contain and slow down the spread of the virus. Faced with new realities of working from home, temporary unemployment, home-schooling of children, and lack of physical contact with other family members, friends, and colleagues, we must look after our mental, as well as our physical, health.

But every coin has two faces, if we consider the positive aspects of this virus we will find out that people nowadays are more health-conscious. Many people by standing indoors had started doing exercises and yoga. Cycling also had become a good pass time for people.

Regardless of the precautions, we need to take it had made us develop some good and essential habits like washing hands-on regular intervals, washing vegetables and fruits before cooking, and much more which was not kept in mind precisely before.

COVID-19 had increased us to risk of getting infected and sick but at the same time had taught us important things to make our immune system much stronger than before. We are getting to understand the importance of good health which we had forgotten due to work stress and restless manpower.

This pandemic had made us stronger than before both mentally and physically we can appreciate the healthy homemade food and its importance now. Fast food is missed though but this time had told us that we can survive to live a healthy and peaceful lifestyle.

If considered this hard time had made us realize the essence of a healthy body and a subtle mind.

MENTAL HEALTH

“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.”
― Henry Wads worth Longfellow

We are living in a world where physical fitness had become more important without caring for one’s mental health.

In the race of achieving everything, we have forgotten to look after our well being and to feed our brain with good thoughts. Being mentally stable is what is required to have a peace of mind and it contributes towards satisfaction of oneself.

The COVID-19 had too negatively affected the lives of many people and created new barriers. Many people are suffering from many mental issues during this pandemic period.

There lies a difference in being sad and being depressed;

Sadness is for a particular instance that happened due to some ill happening or due to mood changes but depression is a long term phenomenon, overthinking and negative perspective towards everything could be the major causes. Depression could often lead to suicidal thoughts which could grow intense during the time. Depression can cause tiredness and deprival in day to day task performed.

Here are some steps that we all can follow to feel better and lively every passing day :

  1. Take time out for yourself no matter how small, talk to yourself about the happenings of the day.
  2. Get up early in the morning and practice some yoga and meditation  to make your mind still and calm.
  3. Do not disturb your sleeping cycle and try to drink hot milk before sleeping.
  4. Think of one good thing that happened in the day and show some interest in nature.
  5. Talk to people around you maybe they are friends,family or relatives just share what you feel inside.
  6. Eat healthy try to have a balanced diet.
  7. Avoid much use of social media platforms which make you feel toxic from inside.
  8. Spend time with your family maybe watching a movie together or just by sitting together having lunch.
  9. Try to ignore unnecessary things which make you feel sad.
  10. Watch motivational videos and movies to help you keep going.

It is alright to speak about your emotions to anyone. No one in this world is completely free from stress and anxiety. Everyone have certain issues of their own. It is better to think that you are not the only person surviving everyone does it help you to have a positive outlook towards life,

If still, you face problems do not hesitate to visit a doctor and have a regular checkup.

Always remember the most important person is you take care of yourself in every way possible . life is just a game and you are fighting for survival. losing is easy but winning takes real courage.

“Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future to keep growing.” – Swami Sivananda

Environmental Law Principles adopted by India

 

The Indian courts have successfully adopted specific environmental law principles from international environmental law jurisprudence and have combined a liberal view towards ensuring social justice and the protection of human rights. These principles have been incorporated in the Indian environmental jurisprudence and play a key role in decisions of judges even when not explicitly mentioned in the concerned statute. The principles of Indian environmental law are resident in the judicial interpretation of laws and the Constitution, and encompass several internationally recognized principles, thereby providing some semblance of consistency between domestic and global environmental standards.

 

1. Precautionary Principle:

 

A new principle for guiding human activities, to prevent harm to the environment and to human health, has been emerging during the past 10 years. It is called the “principle of  precautionary action” or the “precautionary principle” in short. This principle is controversial and its definition varies in terms of viewpoint. Environmentalists and consumer advocacy organizations that demand bans and restrictions on industrial practices or products would want policy-makers to take no action unless they would do no harm. States and advocates of economic development argue that the lack of full certainty is not a justification for preventing an action that might be harmful.

 

In India, for the first time in Vellore Citizens Welfare Forum v. Union of India , the Supreme Court explicitly recognized the precautionary principle. as a principle of Indian environmental law. In S. Jagannath v Union of India (Shrimp Culture Case), the Supreme Court Bench headed by Justice Kuldip Singh required the authority to deal with the situation created by the shrimp industry and issued remedial directions consistent with the precautionary and polluter pays principles. In A.P. Pollution Control Board v Prof M.V. Nayudu, the Court drew out the development of the precautionary principle in clear terms.

 

In the Narmada Bachao Andolan v Union of India, the Court explained that:

When there is a state of uncertainty due to the lack of data or material about the extent of damage or pollution likely to be caused, then, in order to maintain the ecology balance, the burden of proof that the said balance will be maintained must necessarily be on the industry or the unit which is likely to cause pollution.. Refusing to apply the “precautionary principle” used in cases dealing with inherently polluting activities such as heavy industries, the Court accepted the contention of the respondents that the project would have a positive impact by arresting the ecological degradation presently taking place in the drought-prone areas of Gujarat and Rajasthan, leading to sustainable agriculture and spread of green cover. The generation of hydropower would avoid the air pollution that would otherwise take place by thermal generation.

 

The movement towards adopting the precautionary principle has definitely widened the scope of corporate accountability, but the interpretation taken by the court mitigates the relevance and incorporation of this principle in Indian Jurisprudence.

 

2. The .Polluter Pays. Principle:

 

The Supreme Court with the introduction of the principle of absolute liability in M.C Mehta v Union of India calculates environmental damages not on the basis of a claim put forward by either party, but through an examination of the situation by the Court, keeping in mind factors such as the deterrent nature of the award. . This rule has been endorsed in Indian Council for Enviro-Legal action v Union of India and Vellore Citizens welfare Forum v Union of India. However, the Supreme Court held recently that the power under Article 32 to award damages, or even exemplary damages to compensate environmental harm, would not extend to the levy of a pollution fine.

 

3. Sustainable Development and Inter-generational Equity:

 

In Narmada Bachao Andolan v. Union of India43 it was observed that: Sustainable

development means what type or extent of development can take place, which can be sustained by nature/ecology with or without mitigation.. Earlier in the Vellore Citizens Welfare forum v Union of India , the traditional concept that development and ecology were opposed to each other was rejected and sustainable development was adopted. In the Taj Trapezium case this principle was accepted and again it was said that development of industry is essential for the economy of the country but at the same time the environment and ecosystem has to be protected.

 

In State of Himachal Pradesh v. Ganesh Wood Products, the Supreme Court invalidated forest-based industry, recognizing the principle of inter-generational equity as being central to the conservation of forest resources and sustainable development. In the CRZNotification case 46 the courts carried forward the concern for sustainable development by expressing its concern at the adverse ecological effects, which will have to be borne by future generations.

4. Public Trust Doctrine:

 

The  Public  Trust  Doctrine,  evolved in M.C. Mehta  v.  Kamal Nath,  states  that  certain common  properties  such  as  rivers,  forests,  seashores  and  the  air  were  held  by  Government  in  Trusteeship  for  the  free  and  unimpeded  use  of  the  general public. Granting lease to a motel located at the bank of the River Beas  would interfere with the natural flow of the water and that the State Government had  breached  the  public  trust  doctrine. The Supreme Court enunciated Professor

Joseph Saxs doctrine of public trust in this case to further justify and perhaps extract state initiative to conserve natural resources, held that the state, as a trustee of all natural resources, was under a legal duty to protect them; and that the resources were meant for public use and could not be transferred to private ownership. This doctrine was further reiterated in M.I Builders Pvt Ltd v Radhey Shyam Sahu.

Doctrine of Notional Extension under the Workmen Compensation Act, 1923

 

There is no problem in detecting that the accident occurred in the course of employment when a workman is injured in the working place and in the working hour and doing his duty. The problem arises when these elements do not coincide together. But a workmen if injured just near the work premises or just before joining the work or in the way to work problem arises. To address this kind of problem and giving some kind of relief to the workmen the theory of notional extension evolved.

“As a rule, the employment of a workman does not commence until he has reached the place of employment and does not continue when he has left the place of employment, the journey to and from the place of employment being excluded. It is now well-settled, however, that this is subject to the theory of notional extension of the employer’s premises so as to include an area which the workman passes and repasses in going to and in leaving the actual place of work. There may be some reasonable extension in both time and place and a workman may be regarded as in the course of his employment even though he had not reached or had left his employer’s premises. The facts and circumstances of each case will have to be examined very carefully in order to determine whether the accident arose out of and in the course of the employment of a workman, keeping in view at all times this theory of notional extension.” 

Wider interpretation of duty:

Court has given a wider and popular meaning of “duty” to expand the scope of this section. The court also talks about the service contract to determine which can be come under the preview of this section. Justice Cozens-Hardy M. R. said “……… it was an implied term of the contract of service that these trains should be provided by the employers, and that the colliers should have the right, if not the obligation, to travel to and from without charge.” In the next case the court has interpreted the term “duty” in stricter sense.

In Weaver v. Tredegar Iron Coal Co.  House of Lords after examining a large number of authorities given a wider meaning of “duty” but did not negated the duty test.In this case lord Atkin said that there can be no doubt that the course of employment cannot be limited to the time or place of the specific work which the workman is employed to do. It does not necessarily end when the “‘down tools” signal is given, or when the actual workshop where he is working is left. In other words, the employment may run on its course by its own momentum beyond the actual stopping place. There may be some reasonable extension in both time and space.” Lord Porter further said that if an accident occurs while coming to the workplace or leaving the place can be out of and in the course of employment if he is bound by the way he proceed under the terms of the contract of service express or implied. Here duty test was confirmed.

Expanding the preview of Service Contract:

In St. Helens Colliery Co Ltd v. Hewlston  the court said that the injury did not occur in the course of employment because the employee was not bound or obliged to travel by that special train and he could have taken other transport. If he were bound by the service contract to travel by that train then it would have been in the course of employment (Lord Buckmaster). It was also added that if the place of work is like that there is no alternative means of transport other than the transport given by the employer then it can be concluded that there is an implied term in the service contract to use that transport (Lord Atkinson). The same view was taken in Mackenzie v. I.M. Issak says that a workman in a colliery is not in course of his employment while using the transport of the employer if he is not bound by the terms of the contract to travel by that transport.

There was a particular situation where employee has to take bus service to reach his workplace from home and vise versa. It was necessary for doing his duty efficiently and punctually which was a condition under his service  . So, travelling in that bus was an implied condition to his duty. It was also said that this doctrine was developed to cover the factory, workshops and harbors but it can be applied in this kind of situation also. Compensation was granted holding that the accident arising in the course of employment. Though the court said what would be the indicator that when the work starts and ceases that depends on case to case basis.

In Union of India v. Mrs . Noor Jahan  a railway gangman was ordered by his employer to go to another place for cleaning and in the way from one place to another accident happened. Justice Sukla observed that the accident has occurred in the duty hour and when he was going to do his duty on behalf of his employer and he concluded that the accident has occurred in the course of his employment.

Public Place and this Doctrine:

There are some situations where this doctrine does not apply. When a workman is on the public road or public place and not there for fulfilling the obligation and his work does not make necessary to be there. The proximity of the work premises and spot of accident become immaterial. The notional extension of the place of work cease when workman come to a public road. There were some clarification made in the next case in this matter.

In Saurashtra Salt Manufacturing Co. v. Valu Raja  Justice Jafer Imam said that,

“It is well settled that when a workman is on a public road or a public place or on a public transport he is there as any other member of the public and is not there in the course of his employment unless the very nature of his employment makes it necessary for him to be there. A workman is not in the course of his employment from the moment he leaves his home and is on his way to his work. He certainly is in the course of his employment if he reaches the place of work or a point or an area which comes within the theory of notional extension, outside of which the employer is not liable to pay compensation for any accident happening to him.”
