DOCTOR ESSAY 5 (600 WORDS) ================================ 🌼Introduction Doctors are considered to be next only to God. This is because they give new lives to people. They are equipped with the knowledge and tools required to diagnose and treat various medical conditions. They perform treatments with the help of other medical staff. Patients are also given after care in the hospitals and nursing homes to help them recover. 🌺How much Responsible are Doctors These Days? People rely on doctors for ensuring their health and well being. They believe that they don’t have to worry about any medical issue as long as they have these professionals besides them. Doctors offer a sense of security. However, some of the incidents that have come to limelight over the last few decades have shaken people’s faith in this noble profession. Now, the question is how much responsible are doctors these days? While people these days have started mistrusting these professionals and they have all the reasons to do so, we cannot generalize the whole thing. Each individual is different from the other. There may be some who use corrupt means however there are also many of them who act responsibly and don’t take this profession as just a means to earn money. 🌺The Degradation of Medical Profession and Doctors In technical terms, the medical profession has grown and developed drastically with the evolution of newer medical equipments and improved ways of dealing with different medical issues, it has degraded morally. India already suffers from several problems when it comes to the medical system (even though it has a bunch of some of the best doctors around the world) and this is topped with issues such as corruption to make the situation worse. The citizens of India do not have any national health insurance system and this makes the private sector dominate the healthcare arena in our country. While the government has set up many government hospitals and nursing homes, their infrastructure and overall condition is poor and thus most people do not prefer going there. The government of India spends very less on healthcare. This is the root cause of corruption here. People are drawn towards the private sector that offers far better facilities and is also well maintained. However, the main aim of this sector is to make money rather than to treat the patients. It is common for the doctors to suggest the patients to get all sorts of blood tests, X-rays and other tests done even if they approach them for a simple fever or cough. Doctors take advantage of the people’s need to regain health and their lack of knowledge about different medical conditions. Even if people cannot afford, they go for these tests for the fear that the problem may aggravate. Prescribing numerous medicines and health tonics has also become quite common. These are just a way to earn money. Some of these even have side effects on the patients but the doctors these days don’t seem to care. More problems for the patients simply mean more money for the doctors. There have also been cases wherein people have been admitted to hospital and made to stay for longer than the required period just so that the hospital makes profit. People have also been mis-communicated about their illnesses just to extract money from them. Medical profession has become more of a business these days rather than a way to serve the people. Besides, ill practices such as black marketing of organs have led to all the more insecurity among the public. 🌼Conclusion It is sad to see the condition of medical system in the country. The government should take initiatives to improve this condition. Doctors must also act responsibly and maintain the dignity of this profession. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 SV RAMANUJ

BLACK MONEY ESSAY – 4 (500 WORDS) 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 🌼Introduction Black money is the money on which tax is not paid. It is hidden from the government just to keep it exempted from tax. There are a number of means used by people to keep their money under wraps and escape from paying the tax. Here is a look at some of these and also the way government has tried to curb this problem in the recent past. ☘️Black Money Deposited in Foreign Lands Many big business men, ministers and celebrities are known to have deposited their money in foreign banks. Though the total amount deposited by Indians in foreign bank is not known, there are many reports claiming estimate amount of money deposited by Indians in their foreign accounts. As per one of these reports a whopping US$1.06 trillion has been held in Switzerland while another report claims that Swizz bank accounts of Indians includes around US$2 billion. It has also been claimed that illegal funds of Indians in foreign tax havens amount to around US$ 500 billion. ☘️Demonetization – A Step to Eradicate Black Money Recently, the Modi government took a major step to eradicate the problem of black money. On the 8th of November 2016, Narendra Modi announced that 500 and 1000 rupee notes would cease to be legal from midnight. ATMs all across the country were closed on 9th and 10th of November. These were refilled with 2000 rupee notes and new version of 500 rupee notes. The old notes were removed completely from circulation. As per the government this action would bring down the accumulation of black money and bring down the illegal businesses and activities that are funded by the same. The sudden announcement of the withdrawl of old currency notes and the shortage of new notes created havoc in the country and disrupted the normal functioning across of various sectors for several weeks. The decision had mixed reactions from the public. The decision was condemned by many stating that it has only caused inconvenience to the general public. It has been criticized for being poorly planned. Public came out to protest against the government in various parts of the country. However, the government claimed that the move is aimed at improving the overall condition of the society and people will see the positive results in the long term. ☘️Impact of Demonetization While the move was condemned and criticized by many here is a look at the positive impacts of demonetization: 🔹Black money was majorly destroyed due to this move of the Modi government. 🔹It came as a shock for the political parties and ministers who used black money for campaigning and other activities. It disrupted the ill practices used by these parties to win votes. 🔹The amount of black money floating in the real estate sector saw a huge dip. 🔹Hawala transactions that promote terror activities came to a halt. 🔹It has also impacted Maoists and their movements negatively. 🌼Conclusion The issue of black money has been eating the country like a parasite. While demonetization has helped in controlling it to some extent there is still a lot that government should do to get rid of this issue. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 SV RAMANUJ

However, before you go ahead and hone your skills, it is imperative to understand the different types of leadership styles. 🌷 Types of Leadership Styles 🔸Democratic Leadership The subordinates are a part of the decision-making process in this type of leadership. This kind of leadership focuses on the contributions of the subordinates; however, the final accountability of their decisions and actions is that of the leader. This is considered to be one of the most preferred leadership styles. 🔸Transformational Leadership This type of leadership is about inculcating change in oneself, group members, organization as well as other factors impacting the performance to enhance the same. A transformational leader inspires others by setting higher goals and motivating them to increase productivity. 🔸Team Leadership A team leader involves his team wholly in the project at hand. The leader inspires his team to work hard and together they work to achieve the set goals and evolve the members professionally. 🔸Strategic Leadership It involves a leader who is basically the head of a firm but one who does not only shares ideas with the top management. He is involved with the entire team at all the levels. He is known to bridge the gap between the requirement for new possibilities and the need for realism. 🔸Autocratic Leadership This type of leadership style focuses on the boss. Here, the leader holds all the authority. He takes decisions solely at his discretion without consulting his team. He communicates the same to his team and expects immediate implementation. He is also the one who is held responsible for his decisions. There is no flexibility here. This kind of leadership has often been criticized. 🔸Visionary Leadership This type of leader recognizes the talent and need of his team members. He sets forth a vision of success and the collective efforts required to achieve the desired results. 🔸Coaching Leadership A coaching leader constantly guides and supervises his team members to enhance performance. He motivates his team members and encourages them to work harder. This style of leadership has received immense appreciation. 🔸Facilitative Leadership A facilitative leader helps his team members run the process efficiently by giving them directions from time to time. This is in case his team is low functioning. In case, it is a high functioning team then this leader employs a light handed approach. 🔸Cross-Cultural Leadership This type of leadership exists when one is to deal with people from different cultural backgrounds. Many leaders working in different organizations in the United States are cross-cultural because people from different cultures are employed there. 🔸Laissez-Faire Leadership In this type of leadership, the team members are given authority. They are given the opportunity to work at their discretion with almost no interference from the leader. It is not considered to be an effective leadership style. 🔸Transactional Leadership This type of leadership includes an exchange process.

LEADERSHIP ESSAY 4 (500 WORDS) ======================================= 🌼 Introduction Like various other qualities, leadership may also be gifted by birth. At times, we are so caught up by the influence of others (mostly parents and teachers) – how they want us to be or how they would react to our decision that we forget our true selves and begin to act in the manner they have taught/ expect us to.

LEADERSHIP ESSAY 3 (400 WORDS) =========================================== 🌼 Introduction Good leadership springs from a bunch of several qualities including confidence, honesty, commitment, integrity, patience, transparency, creativity, positive outlook, open-mindedness, the ability to delegate responsibility and the ability to communicate effectively. While leaders are often looked at as an inspiration for others, being one has its own set of pros and cons. ☘️ Pros of Being a Leader Let us begin by looking at the pros of being a leader: 🔹Respect People look up to you as an inspiration.

Good leadership can also lead to the success of a business/firm. ☘️ Downside of Being a Leader Mentioned below is the downside of being a leader: 🔸Accountability Since you are the leader, you are responsible for the acts of your team members. You are accountable for all their actions. 🔸Isolation No matter how close you are to your team and how much you encourage two-way communication, those who look up to you often make you sit on a pedestal and this can lead to a sense of isolation. 🔸Dealing with All Kinds of People As a leader, you may have to deal with both good and bad people. They might challenge your patience and this can be quite frustrating at times. The key is to stay calm. 🌼 Conclusion If you possess leadership qualities, you may take up the role of a leader. While you should be comfortable handling this position if you have the required qualities; however, beware about the downside of the same before you take your final decision. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 SV RAMANUJ

Only if a person is patient can he understand the mistakes of others and help them evolve. Conclusion A good leader has the ability to inspire others and instil leadership qualities in his subordinates to generate future leaders. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 SV RAMANUJ

While leadership is a powerful quality, leaders possess various other qualities in addition to it that make for their popularity. 🍁Qualities of a Good Leader Here are the five main qualities of a good leader: 🔸Honesty Honesty is one of the main qualities of a leader. A leader leads by example. So, if you want your team to look up to you, have faith in your ideologies and follow fair means in the tasks you assign them, it is imperative for you to be honest yourself. A deceitful person may attract people by way of manipulation; however, he will soon lose his credibility. 🔸Communication A leader does not think of himself as superior to you and thus does not believe in maintaining a distance. He rather ensures a flow of two-way communication to share ideas, discuss issues and maintain a cordial relation. 🔸Self-Confidence The level of self-confidence leaders possess is impeccable. They are sure about themselves and know exactly how to put their point across to inspire their audience. Good leaders also have confidence in their team. 🔸Transparency Good leaders do not hide facts or plays games. They maintain transparency while dealing in both personal and professional relationships.
