This document discusses the characteristics of contributors versus non-contributors. It provides examples of how contributors engage deeply with their work compared to non-contributors who are more disengaged. Specifically, it discusses how contributors have positive attitudes, make personal commitments, show initiative, interest and intellect. They are emotionally engaged versus disengaged. Two case stories are provided about individuals who overcame challenges through deep engagement: John Roebling who tapped instructions to complete the Brooklyn Bridge after an injury, and Ratan Tata who remained focused on creating an affordable car for middle-class Indian families.

core understanding
•They simply follow the procedure devised by
the supervisor

5. The Non-contributor Researcher who is disengaged
This research project is becoming very
tough now. As long as it needed only the
procedures that my senior had told me, it
was okay. I don’t understand all this now… I
give up! It is easier to just ask my senior to
tell me the answers and what to do.

6. The Contributor Researcher who engages deeply
This research project is challenging for me…
the deeper I go into the subject, the clearer I
become about these concepts. I am able to
find new answers to these problems… I am
discovering how amazing this subject is

7. Personal Commitment
Personal commitment is the act of quality of voluntary
tasking on or fulfilling Obligation

8. Non-Contributors
It is comfortable to just do
what people give you, do
enough work to fill the day,
have long tea breaks, leave
for home on time, etc. If I
commit to the success of this
project then I will have to
give up those conveniences
and be accountable to the
team and its goals… so I’d
rather not do

9. Contributors
Unless I go deep and get
into the details, I know
the project will not get
completed successfully. If
I am involved, I must
commit myself deeply to
the success of the project

15. Emotional Engagement
And
Emotional Disengagement

16. Emotional Engagement :
• Ability of an individual to engage emotionally to any
work assigned or situation faced
Contributors are emotionally connected with
will and always accept the challenges without
thinking about their “ likes” or “dislikes”
EMOTIONAL ENGAGEMENT

18. Emotional Disengagement :
•A person who is not concerned about the work assigned
or the situation faced can be called as emotionally
disengaged person.
One who is emotionally disengaged is a non-contributor
and thinks that his work is boring and hates to struggle for a
solution
EMOTIONAL DISENGAGEMENT

19. ExampleOfNon-Contributor’sEmotional
Disengagement
Mihir was a brilliant physics research
student. He wanted to use path with
technology to find solutions
to some of the serious issues faced by
the world.
He joined a multi-national oil company
where physicists, geologists and
mathematicians together worked on
identifying oil drilling sites
But after two years into the job,
he found the excitement of
newness and discovery missing
He joins another organization
which manufactures cutting edge
optical instruments used in
various medical, research and
educational institutes. But here
too things are no different

20. Case stories
I would like to tell you some stories about “How a Contributor engage
deeply with their Work?”

21. Case Story 1 : Brooklyn Bridge
In 1883, an engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to
build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with Long Island. Bridge
building experts throughout the world thought that this was an
Impossible feat and told Roebling to forget it as it had never been done
Before. Roebling knew that it could be done. He shared the dream with
His son Washington, an upcoming engineer. Working together, the father
And son.
Developed concept of how the dream could be accomplished. With great
inspiration and excitement about the wild challenge before them, they
hired their crew to build the dream bridge. Few months into the
project there was an on-site accident. John Roebling died in it.
Washington was injured and was left with brain damage, and could not talk or move.
Everyone thought the project would be scrapped since the Roebling were the only ones
who knew how the bridge could be built. Despite his handicap, Washington still had a burning desire to complete
the bridge. He tried to inspire and pass on his enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too afraid
to take up the task.
As he lay on his bed in his hospital room, with the sunlight streaming through, an idea hit him. All he could do was
move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By
moving this finger, he slowly developed a code of communication by tapping his finger,
with his wife through which he communicated to his engineers. He also encouraged his
wife to study higher mathematics, strengths of different materials, etc. It seemed foolish,
but the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions using his finger until the bridge was
finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory

22. Case Story 2 : Ratan Tata’s promise of safe road travel
for middle-class Indian families
Ratan Tata, the head of the Tata Group, was moved every time he saw whole
families travelling on two-wheelers, a common sight in India.
He was inspired to think of how travel could be made safer for families
from the growing Indian middle-class, without having to resort to expensive
means. He did not want to simply make another stylish and small, but
unaffordable car. That is when he hit upon the idea of manufacturing a small
car – with a price tag of one lakh rupees, and no more.
Though his idea was widely criticized, he remained
focused on his goal. Initially in 2003, he thought
of making a four-wheeler out of scooter parts but
it did not work out and the team had to struggle a
lot. Mr. Tata spent a lot of his time on this project
and monitored it closely until the Nano design was
conceived.
By 2011, Mr. Tata proved his critics wrong and the car was already popular on Indian roads.
The car had numerous cost-cutting features, and Mr. Tata was able to
realize his dream of giving the Indian public an affordable yet modern car.
But he does not stop there.
“We have to commit to making the product better all the time - so, five
years from now, it is not the same Nano,” he said.
