The Indian HR Conclave 2006 by DMS, IIT Delhi Concludes
HR Rostrum: "New Generation at Work: 'Y' Should You Care"
Post-event Press-release

The first event of the academic year 2006-07 of DMS-IIT Delhi, the HR Conclave "New Generation at Work - ‘Y’ should you care?" was held in the plush Leela Kempinski, Mumbai, and was chaired by none other than SEBI Chairman, Mr. M. Damodaran.
The event was inaugurated by the Head of Department of DMS-IIT Delhi, Dr. S. S. Yadav, who set the tone and the pitch for the event by introducing the house to the topic and providing a context for what was to follow.

He was followed by the very eloquent Mr. M. Damodaran, who in his inimitable poetic fashion set forth what he perceived were the characteristic traits of the new generation as the epitome of: irreverence, intolerance and impatience. These traits, he remarked, were not negative despite their pejorative connotations; in fact they serve to help them conquer their dreams. What is required, he said, was control and moderation. The new generation, he remarked, was born in an independent country having never seen colonial or anysort of suppression, breeding a high level of confidence and disregard for tradition. But in their drive for success what this generation missed out on was to enjoy life, to soak up its sights and sounds. What makes this generation different is its high level of enthusiasm and abundance of energy. But in its impatience to succeed, it often gets shortchanged, Mr. Damodaran observed. Perseverance is a trait that needs to be strengthened in this generation, like Robert Bruce, they should keep trying and trying.

Next on the podium, was Prof. Dr. Vinayshil Gautam of DMS-IIT Delhi (founding member of IIM-K and lead consultant of setting up of IIM Shillong), who with his inimitable felicity conceptualized and contextualized the topic starting with the poser: ‘Are we maturing as a species?'. He pointed out three human traits: ego, love and anger and exhorted the audience to consider whether we have been able to manage them. Ego and anger are as ever, just their manifestations have changed: the clubs of early man have been replaced by nuclear warheads; and they remain barriers to human development. Evolution is a natural phenomenon, only the parameter matters. Dr Vinayshil Gautam points out two main parameters: exclusive / generic and ephemeral / contingent. He pointed out that generations have evolved but the parameters are still the same. Physical anthropological changes are a proof of the evolutions in the human body. It is not only the questions of the different generations but also various civilizations at work!
