Gud…Good Morning Sir!!!

Greeting or wishing the senior or Boss in the office is a part of a protocol or it could be a sense of respect from the subordinates, whatever… but it should be more of a respect notion rather to be a protocol. You may find this article whimsy, but it is important to discuss some situation where how one should convert receiving of greeting by heart not as fulfillment of a formality.

Working in an office or in an organization, it’s almost very difficult to satisfy each and every employee, yes one as a boss / senior should not loose his respect from the subordinates. You may find that I am talking of all the emotional stuff, which stand no where in this professional environment, but my dear friends we are here to make the workplace as happier as your home.
In one of my previous job, my Boss wants the respect from employees from day one. Employees used to come at work, but never wish him in the morning and while leaving for the day. After few days when he find that no one respecting him, he call for a meeting, and the Agenda was “Every employee will come and meet him 15 minutes before leaving the premises”. He explains the reason that in order to maintain proper communication, this daily evening meeting is essential. I take this step in the different sense, as I observing his strange behavior from day one. It was his initiative how to listen at least Good evening, no matter they say Good Morning or not.
I think one should receive respect from the heart, not by becoming dictator and forcing to Wish or Greet…
Why the employee won’t greet/ wish to a boss??? The managers need to think and work on the same. Do they going to make it issue if his subordinate not respecting because it is a part of a protocol or Code of Conduct of a company, else you as a manager fails to win the heart of your employees?
Making greeting or wishing process more informal will definitely help the management to bring a much familiar and open culture in the office rather making it more of old aged culture of Bureaucracy. Now the Manager need to become more proactive in saying “Hi” to there employees and subordinates rather, sitting in the cabin and seeking when the subordinates come and wish him or walking from the office once all employees saying Good Morning Sir one by one and you keep answering Good Morning…
I really find this very inconvenient when I move to my boss office just to wish him for the day. It seems more of the buttering activity then implementing the code of conduct. Moreover for a boss it could be a disturbing element.
Few days back, I went to a college as External Practical Examiner; during via-va few students wish n few wont. I really ignore the greeting part, as I never been with the same institution earlier. But all of sudden the internal examiner said, you (student) the first who wish the Sir, no one else greet… won’t your batchmates have any sense of respect for seniors. I feel offended, not on the students, but on the internal faculty. I find why people have so much concern about the respect which they want from there juniors or subordinates. Why not improve your Code of Conduct for life and get respect. Why to seek respect once you acquire the position. Why you can’t say “Hello” to the subordinates before they wish… or they are not wishing you… Why the Ego factors become a hindrance at this stage?
Finally, the title “Gud…Good Morning Sir” is self explanatory that, the subordinate wishing you definitely, but seem scared and forced to do the same.
I need your valuable comments and suggestion, that do we really seeking respect once we acquire the position, else it’s important to realize the subordinates that you are a senior and he/she ought to wish, in order to maintain the control environment with-in the organization.
