MEKA'S PRINCIPLE

Every institution or organization has individuals who belong to a positive school of thought (Aprrox 90%) and a negative school of thought (Aprox 10%) and there is a constant rivalry between the both the groups. The author, Prof. M.Srinivasa Rao has created the concept and coined it as 90:10 Principle or MSR’s Principle or Meka’s Principle.

The 90% of the employees in the institution belong to hardworking, efficient, dynamic, disciplined, dedicated and determined to achieve their organizational goals and objectives. They are unmindful of the rest and meagre 10% whether this segment contributes for the institution. These people are highly focussed and believe in their individual growth and to the growth of their institutions in which they are working. At times, they don’t look for rewards or returns. They acquire a great degree of job satisfaction and sense of achievement. They take pride in their work and strongly believe that they should do their best as they are paid for it.

On the other hand, the rest (10%) of the employees always look for their survival, as they are not confident and competent in their work. These employees believe in sycophancy, litigation, mud-slinging, jealous, organizational politics. They always throw mud at the hard working (90%) and always look at the negative side so as to create problems just for their survival. This segment spends most of their time and energies in gossips rumor mongering and indulges in sensationalism and negative approach.

The minority (10%) negative people always put their efforts to take over the majority (90%) in the organization and they fail miserably as the majority totally contributes their positive energies for the development of organization, they always overtake the minority. A single matchstick is sufficient to burn the entire forest. The road to negative zone is easy but the road to positive zone is very difficult.

The author has worked in various organizations and is still working and the above views and comments are based on lot of observations and experience.
