Imagine a system where you cannot fire anyone for poor performance, or give anyone a raise, promotion or bonus for good performance. A system where key executives stay less than 7 months in a role before switching to a totally new department. A system that spends zero on your professional development but entrusts you with total authority to decide spending of billions every year. A system where everyone stays away from large, high impact projects or out-of-box reforms because they can become subjects of inquires, anti-corruption scrutiny, political scandalisation or whimsical court judgments.

The system inherited from rulers as their slaves, still the after shocks of slavery and slave mindset being faced by the countries in South Asia, the Indian Sub-Continent and generations yet waiting for the change in their livelihood.
