Pros and cons of having Bhishma Pitamah in an organization ?
“Bhishma Pitamah” from the epic Mahabharata is a symbol of wisdom and commitment and having such a figure in an organization could be seen as beneficial. A 'Bishma' in an organization might represent someone with vast experience, unwavering dedication, and a wealth of knowledge, which cannot be measured. Their presence could lead to positive long-term impact, reflecting the achievement of the organization's clearly defined purpose. However, it's also important to ensure that the organization remains adaptable and open to change, as a singular focus on traditional methods or excessive reverence for hierarchy, as exemplified by Bhishma Pitamah's story, could potentially hinder innovation and growth.
Therefore, while the wisdom and experience of a 'Bishma' can be a tremendous asset, it's crucial for organizations to balance this with a culture of flexibility and continuous improvement.
Organizations learning to respect Bhishma Pitamah for their wisdom and commitment and at the same time embracing change and innovation by implementing strategies towards this vision, can create a dynamic culture that not only adapts to change but thrives on it, ensuring long-term success and growth.
