You are just too nice to people. I know that this human behavior stuff has been taught to you at the institute, but it just does not work here. I remember when we discussed the Hawthorne studies when I was in the institute, everybody there got excited, but believe me, there is more to managing people than just being nice to them Answer the following question – b) Do you think Rajiv’s father understood and interpreted the Hawthorne studies correctly
