Searching Inner Strength in Developing world!

Stephen Covey spoke to MDs, CEOs, HR heads and young business managers from companies like GE, Fidelity Capital, Citibank, Amex, DHL Aviva and Bharti Televentures in Delhi on 21 Mar 06. The talk is about the 8th habit to take the individual and organization ahead in 21st century. But, I think the problems in developing world is different than what is generally perceived or appear from outside. We need to give due emphasis to some new conceptualization in understanding basic human traits and organization behaviour in the developing world.
The one very important aspect of inner strength of human being is found so contradictory to the prevalent norms. Existing sources of inner strength defined in the prevalent literature is not sufficient for even brilliant person in the fast changing society. Especially when the country like India is ripe to become superpower in next 10-15 years time, these sources of strength are inadequate. How could Nikita a poor highly educated girl of developing world, generate inner strength from existing sources like relatives, ancestors, background, associates, friends, knowledge, experience, exposure, achievements or wisdom? They fail, they fail miserably. Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi the famous icon of Gandhi family could boast of getting inner strength, not she. She has to look elsewhere. First she has to be different, terrific and much more resilience. She has to generate her own inner strength to keep going. Everyday, she has to evolve with new traits to be happy, optimistic and moving. For Rahul Gandhi, aiming big may be as natural as growing Litchi in Muzzaffarpur, but for her, aiming big is as difficult as searching for the world trade center at Zero Point in New York from her existing level. How can you say for her that aiming small is a crime? What is she going to do with aiming high when she has to ensure that she gets the nod for new projects from her boss, where she can put very hard work, put all her best knowledge to treat poor people, get exploited by rich patients and feel sense of achievement of being in the best profession of medicine to nurture humankind?
Inner strength is thus not available as easily as is presumed to be available. Like knowledge, it is also to be acquired or achieved or gained. It does not come to human beings through mere birth. Inner strength remains as illusive as money, position, caste, creed and status. It would be really interesting to analyze those sources from where they are presumed to be originating. In general, inner strength comes from three radical sources –

Inherited,
Circumstances and Situations, and
Human survival instincts.

All three sources are very distinct in nature. Human growth outside the domain of biological or biochemical growth remains very-very complex. Like growth of organism depends upon many external as well as internal factors, human growth in a life-span depends upon many external as well as internal factors. Generally any such discussions have been kept limited to medical sciences or psychological studies. There are other aspects which have not been given their due in the course of human civilization. It would be very interesting to discuss and analyze these aspects keeping human growth in mind.
In this situation, achieving the task from effectiveness to greatness is not simple. I do not know, how far, Stephen Covey understand these complications. This remains a challenge to management gurus. Even if you are highly motivated, focused, dedicated and hard working, they will be fruitless. The effort of a simple man will not generate significant impact to the environment. All the efforts are going in vain. They will go in drain. We need different thinking. We have to find alternative ideas. We have to generate different theories.
