The Power of Honesty: A Story of Leadership and Integrity Story Line
The boss of a large company decided to hand over the management of the company to a talented employee of his because he was getting old.
He ordered everyone to come to his room.
One of you must take charge of my company.
So I am going to set up a competition for you.
He said that whoever wins will be the next manager.
I have a lot of seeds in my hand, I will give one to each of you.
You have to plant this in a pot at your house, fertilize it, water it, grow it well and show it to me next year.
He said that the one whose plant grows well should take charge of my company.
Everyone bought a seed each.
Ramu, who works in that company, also bought a seed. He told his wife everything the boss had told him.
His wife gave him the pot, fertilizer and water and helped him plant the seed.
A week passed and everyone in the company started talking that the plant in their pot had started growing.
But the plant in Ramu's pot had not started growing yet.
A month had passed and the plant had not grown.
Days had passed and six months had passed and still the plant had not grown in his pot.
He lamented that I had wasted the seed but did not stop watering the plant every day.
He did not tell anyone in the office that the plant was not growing in his pot.
A year had passed and everyone was bringing the pots to show to the boss.
Ramu told his wife that he would not take the empty pot.
His wife convinced him and said that you did as your boss told you for a whole year.
You do not have to regret that the plant did not grow.
Be honest and take the pot and show it to the boss, she said.
Ramu also took the empty pot to the office. Everyone looked at the pot.
There were different plants of different heights.
Everyone who saw his pot started laughing.
The boss asked everyone to come to his room.
Dear, everyone has grown the plant properly, one of you will take charge today.
He looked at everyone's plant. Ramu was standing in the last row and called him to come closer.
He kept walking, afraid that Ramu was calling him to get him fired.
The boss asked Ramu where his plant was.
He explained that he had planted the seed for a year, fertilized it, and watered it.
The boss said everyone except Ramu should sit down.
Then Ramu put his hand on his shoulder and said that this is the one who is going to take over the management of our company.
Ramu was shocked that the plant did not grow in his pot, so he was confused as to why he was giving us this responsibility.
Last year, I gave your person a seed and asked him to grow it, didn't I? All of them were germinated seeds.
Since those seeds were germinated, they could not germinate. Since the seed I gave you did not germinate, you planted another seed instead.
He said that only Ramu behaved honestly, so he is the one who is qualified to manage my company.
If the words we speak and the path we travel are honest, then success will come to us.
Trying to be honest in life is also a struggle.
Truth and honesty are the ones who protect Dharma.
Honesty will never go in vain. Sow honesty, and position and fame will follow.
