You may think the sign of a good manager is to have a department where everybody is busy at work
on their assigned tasks. But if your people are merely doing their jobs, theyre only working at about
half their potential. A truly productive department is one in which every employee is actively thinking
of better, more efficient methods of working ways in which to produce a higher quality product, in less
time, at lower cost.
To get this kind of innovation from your people, you have to be receptive to new ideas; what's more,
you have to encourage your people to produce new ideas. Incentives are one way to motivate
employees to be more productive. You can offer a cash bonus, time off, or a gift. But a more potent
form of motivation is simply the employee's knowledge that management does listen to him or her,
and does put employee suggestions and ideas to work.
When you listen to new ideas, be open-minded. Don't shoot down a suggestion before you've heard it
in full. Many of us are too quick, too eager, to show off our own experience and knowledge and say
that something won't work because we've tried it before or we don't do it that way. Well, may be
you did try it before but that doesn't mean it won't work now. And having done things a certain way in
the past doesn't mean you've been doing them the best way. A good manager is open-minded and
receptive to new ideas.

English Language : Solved Paper

Directions(Q. 112) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answeringsome of the
questions.
One day Nandu rode his horse to the village fair. On his way back he met Somendra, the merchant.
The merchant was a crafty man, ready to do anything to earn some money. The villagers knew this. In
fact no one knew what trick he would be up to next. Now, Nandu was poor and had no one in the
world to call his own except a beautfiul, white horse. He loved it more than anything else in the world.
The merchant had his eye on the horse for a long time and tried to think of a way to get it for himself.
Seeing Nandu, the merchant thought, Nandu is a simpleton. Let me see if I can trick him out of his
horse. So he said to Nandu, You live all alone. How do you manage ? What does a young boy like
you need with a horse ? Sell it to me and I shall make you rich in return. Nandu replied, No I dont

Page 32 of 41

want to sell my horse.

But the merchant refused to give up so easily. He offered Nandu more money. Finally, when the offer
reached five hundred gold coins, Nandu paused and said, Five hundred gold coins seems like a good
price. But I have a condition. If you agree to it, I shall give you my horse. What is it ? The merchant
asked impatiently. Give me the money right now and I shall give you my horse when I have given
you ten lashes, said Nandu. Is that all ? asked the merchant. He could easily bear ten lashes. After
all he would resell the horse for over a thousand gold coins in the market. He would take twenty
lashes for such a gain. He agreed instantly. He ran home and got the money for Nandu and brought
along his whip as well. Nandu counted the money carefully. He then took the whip and the lashes fell
on the merchants back in quick succession. By the eighth lash the merchant was almost in tears but
he told himself that there were only two lashes to go and the horse would be his ! The merchant held
his breath waiting for the final lash. But Nandu had mounted his horse and was riding off. Wait !
shouted the merchant in anger. What about the tenth lash ? Where are you going with the horse ?
We had a deal.
Nandu stopped and said, I agreed to give you the horse only after I had given you ten lashes. But it
is upsetting my horse. Ill give you the last lash later. Till then goodbye ! Come back you cheat !
the merchant shouted. But the crowd that had gathered around agreed with Nandu. A deal was a
