Dr Rajesh K Pillania, Professor, Management Development Institute, Gurgaon – A humorous take on why incompetence and sycophancy aren’t openly taught, rewarded, and celebrated!
Satire can always be found everywhere. A people without love for satire is a dead people.
Dario Fo
Social satire has been around since people have been around.
David Walliams
Satire is an excellent form of expression. Artists and experts from various fields have used it for a long time. It can be added to daily life in a business school to develop a sense of humour and even discuss generally ignored issues. Satire, like any other skill, can be learned and taught. This article is written on a lighter note.
Imagine someone, Mr / Ms X, starting his work life and joining an organisation through a back channel without any competencies except incompetencies and psychophenices. He /she has progressed until now by using his/her key skills of in-competencies and psychophencies. But it was not easy for him/her to do so as there are no schools where incompetencies are openly celebrated and rewarded, and there are no schools where psychpencies are openly taught! Please make no mistake. Here, we are talking about Mr/Ms X, who has absolutely no desire to give up incompetence and psychophancy because he/she loves these two excellent qualities!

Is it not so unfair to him/her that what he/she is good at or enjoys doing are not openly celebrated and taught! All humans are equal. All can choose to do what they like, until it is against humanity. So, they also have a right to be appreciated openly!
Is he/she not doing a big favour to competent, honest and sincere people? Without incompetencies and psychophancies, there would be fewer yardsticks to measure and appreciate the competent, honest people!
The time has come for this mistake and injustice to be corrected! There must be open and social weekly, monthly and daily appreciations and rewards for incompetencies and psychophancies! Something like the incompetent person of the week, month and year! Something like the psychophant person of the week, month and the year! To motivate and make it easy to learn for other existing/aspiring incompetent and psychophants, the details of the incompetencies and psychophencies did in the week, month and year by the recipients of the appreciation and rewards should also be shared with all.
This can be a small beginning, which needs to be started as soon as possible!
