This is no way malice.....
This is way from the word "disrespect".
In modern management, we are taught to be open-minded, free to speak our mind. Malaysian company adapted Japanese values to create a level playing field, wearing the same jacket, learn Kaizen, JIT etc.
In Organisation developement, people learned about Peter Senge " The Fifth Dicipline" , Richard Beckhard, Richard Lewin " Freeze and unfreeze" etc.

Yet, are we up there with these ideals? Being Asian, we are far from it. Respect still need to be given rather than earned.
" I am manager, respect me!! " Or " I am your superior, respect me"
Young graduates who are exposed with new ideas, either through reading or training, voices out their opinion, outspoken, direct and very much to the point. No more..." Dagang Pak Malau...datang merempat.. and bla..bla..bla"!
These bunch of poeple will have a meeting for 10 minutes to settle 5 agendas, find a quick solution and immediate work on it.
THE OLD GUARD
These bunch are now the bosses to the young generation. They irked with the ideas that these young people speaked quickly, in good english, and direct to the point.
The fear that they will be overshadowed created uneasiness. They wanted to be like them but the spirit is no longer there.
They believe that they have worked hard to their position..hence, respect need to be given.
In some instances, they supported these young generation and be a good mentor. This is a minority though this is far more rewarding.
I wonder,why do we still remembers some of our teachers or lecturers in life?
It is becoz they walloped us like crazy or is it something they taught us that stick like glue. I believe it is the latter than the former. When we crossed path with our teacher and lecturer, do you stop and shake their hand or just to say hi? The majority will say hi or simply wave their hands. Now that everlasting respect man....
Being Asian, i agreed that my generation that are entering the big 30s are brashed perhaps, direct and lack protocols but more result orientated. Believe in getting the high position based on merit and substance rather than pure presentations. Believe in karma, what goes around comes around.
So why the old generation thinks that we lack PR skills? Lack the canvassing skills?
I ask you readers, whom i believe in their 20s and represent an active working population, are the young generation, do we lack respect or too direct for our own good??
I would not answer the question......before you do.
Perhaps it is just another vicious cycle in life, the old guard in the 40s and 50s where fighting the young generation like Ahmad Bostaman, Pemuda API, AWAS due to the influence of Sheikh Mohamad Abduh in Egypt. They wanted change and being young they wanted it quick, arent we any different now?? I believe only with this, the dynamics of an organisation, or even society itself is being kept in good civilised manner.
May be la kan...my two cents...and nowadays, 2 cents hardly worth squat!!
