Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Sairam Sisters and Brothers, Today, let us hear from Parantha Narendran, Strategy Director, Eurotel, Prague, Czech Republic. --- "When I was 26 years old I went to India and visited a spiritual teacher there. I felt a very strong message to stop my doctorate work and get a job. I was studying at that time, but I wasn't using my knowledge in any way; and I already had some reservations about it. As a result of my insights from this trip, I began to look for jobs. I was offered a number of jobs and ended up taking one as a telecom consultant in a company that was quite dynamic and with a good group of people. This allowed me to do quite a bit of high profile work in different markets. While it still seemed theoretical, I did feel that I was using my knowledge in some way in order to have an impact on the ways markets were regulated. This was satisfying, but after a while I wanted to get more involved in companies. So then I took a position working for a more operational consultancy for about a year. At the end of that year, I became involved with a colleague of mine, an accountant, who was trying to expose some fraudulent behaviour in the company being perpetrated by the CEO. None of our colleagues wanted to support the accountant, nor did they really understand the issues at the time. I got involved in supporting him - advising him on what he should do. He knew he would likely get fired, and he did get fired. Once he was fired, I felt strong enough to resign from the company about two weeks later based on principles." © Global Dharma Center 2004 http://www.globaldharma.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
