Why PESB Failed To Recommend?
Business Manager|Vol. 19 No. 8 February, 2017

The public sectors have to be placed in hands of competent professional managers and high calibre professionals have to be attracted to the public sector. Government must think of radical reforms in Public Sectors for talent management process like demonetisation, revamping a planning commission etc.

Why PESB Failed To Recommend?

During the year 2016 commencing from 1st June, PESB (Public Enterprise Selection Board) has met 48 times to interview candidates and recommend name of suitable candidates for Director/CMD level positions in different public sectors. In six occasions out of above PESB has failed to recommend name of a candidate for appointment. The story revolves around those six cases as it raises questions, not only of the role that PESB is supposed to play but also the transparency and fairness of the selection process.

PESB is expected to scout talents through appropriate mechanisms and to interview the shortlisted candidates and then recommend name for appointment of competent professional managers to discharge the role of functional directors and Chairman & Managing Director of a company. If we analyse those six cases, we will find how PESB has been failing to discharge its role.

On 2nd June 2016, the interview for Director, Finance for Hindustan Antibiotics Limited was scheduled. There was only one candidate and the board decided not to recommend any name for appointment. Question definitely arises, why candidates are not attracted even for a Director level appointment. It speaks volumes of the company, PESB and the government.

Maintain Neutrality Based On Competency & Capability

The most effective rule in managing up and down however, is being authentic. Authenticity in intent, that builds trust - because once this core factor is there, there is nothing that is required to be 'managed' in the natural order of things.

Future Of Performance Management

Is it about managing performance, or managing the behavior that will produce the performance? And if it is indeed about influencing the person so that he has clarity of agreed outcomes and the support available to him to achieve these, are organizations doing lip service to it or are they serious about the process?

How I Started And Nurtured My Startup..!

Coming from a service class family, I had no idea of business. I had no one to turn to for the basics. I got in touch with some consultants; none of them knew the entire process of getting all the approvals. We were very clear, we did not want to start on the wrong foot, and we wanted to be 100% compliant. I did face many challenges at various stages e.g. in just few months of launch, the competition tried to pull us down, however the issue was resolved soon. Teacupsfull now is a fully registered brand. Challenges do prop up many times, however the key is to stay positive and never give up. There is always a solution to every problem.
