No decision is absolutely rational!

His lectures started getting monotonous. It seemed that there was a pattern to all his analyses. The discussions seemed too black and white and predictable. While at the start, one would dare not miss any of his classes, now the numbers were dwindling and class participation was dropping exponentially. The word was that D, considered one of the profs here, was too rigid with his point of view.

But it all changed today. Today's was easily his best case discussion. Not many would agree with me though, because most of them were dozing away towards utopia. For them, I would really reiterate what one B here, who has a penchant for Quotable Quotes once said, "you are sleeping over your career, Mister!" B has enough substance to form the subject of one long post. But more on him later. BTW, D himself is well known for his 'Hall of Fame' dialogues, though they all sounded like cliches to me, until now. But some of his quotes today were vintage. "No decision is absolutely rational", ''Better work with known devils, than dark horses" and "skill is acquired, competence is applied' to name a few. His take that if you want to ignore power and politics in corporations and not be part of the rat race, better join an NGO although a bit radical, made a lot of sense; Politics exit in organizations, infact it exists in every walk of life. That cases are not to have solutions only discussions shows that there is certain flexibilty to his rigidity.
