नित्यं मनोपहरिणया वाचा प्रहलादयेज्जग्त I
उद्वेजयति भूतानि क्रूर वाग्धनदोअपि सन्न II( Shukra Niti Rajkrityadhikar Nirupan,166 )
Translation:-
The person should make all happy by sweet words. Even if the donor is Kuber (Wealth God) and uses harsh words, he makes people unhappy by those harsh words. ( Shukra Niti Rajkrityadhikar Nirupan,166 )
CEOs should always remember that words spoken or written affect the more than beating the persons.
CEO must follow a best proverb in Sanskrit – सत्यं ब्रूयात प्रियं ब्रूयात, न ब्रूयात सत्त्यम अप्रियम, प्रियं च नानृतम् ब्रूयात . (The universal truth is that speak truth and speak sweet words, However, don’t speak truth those are harsh and don’t speak sweet words if those are lies . )
CEOs should keep always in mind the words of Rachel Wolchin,“ Be mindful when it comes to your words. A string of some that don’t mean much to you may stick with someone for a lifetime”
Perhaps Rumi reminded CEOs only by saying,“ Raise your words not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers and not thunders.”
CEO must keep in mind a Hindi saying ( वाणी से निकला शब्द व बाण से निकला तीर वापस नही आता) before speaking. The saying means that the words from tongue and arrow from bow once leave don’t return.
Pearl Strachan Hurd rightly defines the words, “ Handle them carefully , for words have more power than atom bomb”
Mother Teresa rightly said , “ Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.”.
CEO whether speaks with r colleagues , employees, stakeholders and or competitors should speak sweet words as sweet words are positive characters for CEO.
