Grow some spine!!!

Counting days to finishing my time here...so far its been a mixed bag feeling about the place, people and in general how things are here...but today i would like to make some observations about this place...from the very first day that all of us came to an alien environment, we tried to make our lives more comfortable by being extra nice to each other... its expected to b like that but i didn't imagine in my wildest dreams that this nicety would come down on us like a hammer from above...soon it turned that people were more interested in upholding "democratic feeling" in class than doing the right thing which meant to thinking through on any issue..and funny thing was this turned into the benefit of many who manipulated some of this absolute idiots for their benefits and continue to do so..of course these idiots get a feeling of being included in activities not knowing that a mirror of idiocy is being held to their faces which they can't see...when i joined this B school i thought there would be hurdles which will make me a better manager expecting that everyone would be addressing issues in challenging manner...only thing i have seen is everyone wants to keep each other happy and never be able to take a decision without 10 meetings...i am also to blame because initially when i did question, people thought that i was disrupting that harmony of the class, so i moved away..did my own thing n not bother about others. I think its tome i change because by causing disruptions if some of these people can see the big picture, then i have succeeded in my objective...ultimately you do need nerves of steel with titanium reinforcement to be a manager..too much of a feel good must be questioned as its the first sign of something going very wrong...lets hope these disruptions make us better managers...or else most of us are screwed!!
