Chanakya Sutras for the Corporates

Dear readers, can you think of a few words that end with 'maker'? We know you will find it very easy. By adding '- maker' as a suffix to any object, we get a term describing the person who makes that object. For example- a shoe-maker, a glass-maker, a movie-maker, and so on. And, what about a 'king-maker'? Certainly, a person who carves out a king must be one with unmatched brains, a subtle thinker, besides being a great analyst who has the competency to uplift a mere vagabond to the throne of a king. Only he can be referred to as king-maker. Looking back into the history for examples in this context, Acharya Chanakya's name verily shines in golden letters.

This made Nooyi think that she should also let her employees parents feel the same joy, who were even-handedly responsible for that success. So, she decided to pen down a letter to each of the employees’ parents expressing the gratitude as, "Therefore, I'm writing to thank you for the gift of your son... what a wonderful job he is doing at PepsiCo."

In 2015, Dan Price, CEO of Gravity Payments, which is a credit card processing company, slashed his salary of million dollars to a mere $70000. Why? Just to increase the salary of his employees to the same level, to achieve the happiness quotient within his company! Simply wow! Isn't it?
