Corporate GovernanceEmotional Intelligence
Prakash and Meena were a married couple living in Gurgaon, Haryana. Both Prakash and Meena were corporate executives, working in XYZ retail and ABC enterprises respectively. The two were leading a rewarding professional life. However, as both worked in different companies and often had different office timings, their personal lives were getting affected. Due to their busy schedules and official commitments, they were unable to find sufficient time for each other. Things came to such a pass that the two could not spend their last anniversary together. While Prakash was working on an important project, Meena was busy with the launch of a new product. Though the two understood the importance of professional commitments, the lack of quality time with each-other was increasingly becoming a cause for concern and frustration. One day Prakash informed Meena about a vacancy in his company for the post of regional manager. Prakash, who himself was working at the same position, knew that this post was an ideal opportunity for Meena professionally. While Meena's work in her company was well appreciated and her prospects for growth were sound, she was still willing to grab the present opportunity. This would have enabled the two of them to work in a common office space, with relatively more coherence in their office timings. Consequently, she applied for the vacancy in Prakash's company. As Meena was reasonably qualified for the job and had good experience, she was hired by Prakash's company. The two were very happy about the prospects of working together. Besides working from a common office space, Prakash and Meena were able to go to and return from work together. The two were, resultantly, very happy about this positive change in their lives. Meena quickly adjusted to the new office environment and began her work in the same department as that of Prakash. Meena's positive work came into the notice of her superiors. She was frequently appreciated for her diligence and sincerity. XYZ retail was in the process of preparing a presentation for a potential government contract. While Prakash was expecting that he would be chosen for preparation, the branch head of XYZ retail entrusted Meena with this strategically important task. Prakash was visibly disappointed with this, as he had been preparing for this task for a long time. Meena could also sense Prakash's dejection, as he not only didn't congratulate Meena but also pointed out how it should have been him doing the job. Meena, as was her nature, worked hard on the report, and successfully made the presentation to the client. As the report was made and presented in an efficient manner, XYZ retail gained a big contract from the government. While the entire office was congratulating Meena for her success, Prakash remained indifferent towards Meena's achievement. Meena was visibly hurt by Prakash's behaviour. This further enraged Prakash, as now he was supposed to report to Meena. Moreover, Prakash's behaviour at the workplace changed significantly. He started misbehaving with his juniors over small things. He became careless in his work, often leading to mistakes and errors. Prakash's behaviour at office had a spill-over effect on Prakash and Meena's personal lives. One day he slapped an office peon for entering his cabin without knocking. After an enquiry about the incident, Meena recommended suspension of Prakash. While the two had continuously quarrelled over trivial things since her promotion, this time Prakash's career was at stake leading to a huge fight. Earlier Prakash and Meena tried to spend time together whenever possible, now the two despised being together at home and office. While Meena could not comprehend Prakash's behaviour, Prakash was jealous of Meena's success. Meena began to re-evaluate her decision to join XYZ retail. a) In your opinion, what qualities do Prakash lack? Do you think that Meena also lacks some qualities? b) As a common friend of Meena and Prakash, what advice will you give to the couple? c) How can they develop the qualities that could have prevented such a distressing situation?

Crisis Decision MakingEmotional Intelligence
You have recently assumed the role of District Magistrate (DM) in a highly underdeveloped region characterized by inadequate infrastructure, limited access to basic amenities such as roads, hospitals, and schools, and significant socio-economic challenges. The geographical remoteness of the area further complicates the delivery of immediate relief and development efforts. Upon taking office, you organized a Jan Sangh (public meeting), to engage with the local community and understand their grievances. Residents of the region approached you with a myriad of issues, ranging from lack of access to healthcare and education to concerns about law enforcement and safety. In response to the community's concerns, you diligently prepared a comprehensive proposal outlining the urgent need for infrastructure development and social welfare initiatives. Despite your efforts, the proposal received no response from higher authorities. Upon further inquiry, you discovered that political differences and bureaucratic hurdles were obstructing the allocation of funds for essential projects, particularly road construction, which was critical for improving connectivity and facilitating socio-economic development in the region. As time passes, you find yourself increasingly familiar with the challenges facing the community. However, you are unable to provide any respite to them. You have become habitual to listening to their problems and doing nothing. (a) What is the significance of Emotional Intelligence for a civil servant, drawing from the above case study? (b) What would be the appropriate course of action for you to address the issues faced in the region?
