Mistrust & Delegation
No company ever became great without the active support and hard work of its employees. However, it is hard to find the few good men these days. Actually it's damn near impossible. India is a supposed to be the land of unemployment, that's what people complain of when the time to fight an election comes. But I don't think this is really the case if you are looking for trained personnel.
Unemployment only exists in the lower rungs, where people are not sufficiently trained or educated to hold meaningful jobs. Place an ad for a position that demands a fair level of education and the results will be a cropper, not enough applicants, and those who apply will have no idea what they are there to do.
It is specially hard finding good marketing men and if you get one guard him jealously, there will be thieves out to steal him. I have experienced this first hand.
I am a bit understaffed, and the staff I have is undertrained. When I finish training them and they become useful, they will invariably leave and join a MNC.
Every 5-6 months I get a new batch of students-jobholders.
Such is business in India.
