- 5. Why Mythology? Peter Senge, whose greatest work is the Fifth Discipline. He talks about learning organisations and organisational development . In reference to India and China he said “My intuition is they (India and China) will move somewhat together but in very distinctive ways. But I think the thing that will be really common to both of them will be the fact that they won’t be able to do this without connecting to their heritage. They will have to develop a confidence that they can do this as Indians and they can do this as Chinese. They have learnt a lot from the West but they don’t have to copy, they cannot create a Chinese or Indian version of a Western model. “ “The Western model itself is basically bankrupt. It does not give enough attention to the human side of development.”

They know how to dress, how to carry their laptops and their BlackBerrys, what cars to drive, which clubs to join, where to be seen and with whom. They use words like ‘value enhancement’ and ‘on the same page’ and ‘synergy’ and ‘win-win’. In other words, they know the behavior that projects them as ‘Coaches’, but they have no clue as to what coaching actually means.
