  Introduction
 Contributors think in Enlightened Self-
Interest. In every situation they get into, they
find a way to create good for self and good for
all at the same time – including team mates,
bosses, customers, their organization.
 Contrast this with the mindset of a Non-
Contributor. Such a person is only concerned
with his / her own self-interest in a situation.
He/she is not concerned about the impact
(positive or negative) on the other person.
This leads to unpleasant situations, broken
relationships, unhappy team-mates,
subordinates, and bosses, and lower trust in
any situation. 3
 What is enlightened self-
interest ?
 Enlightened self interest is a philosophy in ethics
which states that person who act to further the
interest of others (or the interest of the or groups
to which they belong),ultimately serve their own
self interest.
 It has often been simply expressed by the belief
that an individual ,group ,or even a commercial
entity will “do well by doing good”.
 It can be simply expressed by the belief “helping
each other help ourselves”.
 The idea is that we can create value and wealth
for the world, which ultimately serves ourselves
,because we live in the world.

Unenlightened self-interest
 In contrast to enlightened self-
interest is simple greed or the
concept of “unenlightened self
interest”.
 In which it is argued that when most
or all persons act according to their
own myopic selfishness that the
group suffers loss as a result of
conflict, decreased efficiency
because of lack of cooperation.

 Contributor
 I Would Like To Take Real Life Example
Of “ANNA HAZARE”. He Has Been A
Grate Contributor To The Society. He
Initiated A Change For Betterment And
Upliftment Of The Society.
 He Initiated The LOKPAL BILL
Movement For The Batter Ment Of Our
Country India.
 The Main Reason Behind LOKPALL BILL
Was To Eradicate Corruption From Our
Country.
 He Went On Hunger Strike To Force
The Government To Accept The Bill.
 He Had A Vision Of Corrupt Free India
For The Younger Generations To Come .

 Non contributor
 One example I would like to quote for a
official is that mr.suresh kalmadi.
 Although he might have worked hard for
the commonwealth games but still there
wear lot of negative points that were
revealed at a later stage.
 He with the support of few other people
did many things which were not in the
welfare of the society. there was a huge
expense which was done during the
CWG but the same was actually not
utilized for that or rather the way it was
utilized was not proper. this created a
wrong image in the eyes of the foreign
players about us as the game at an
international level.
 The incidence shows to a grate the act
of kalmadi as non contributor team
member.

 WHY ENLIGHTENED
SELF-INTEREST IS
IMPORTANT?

13
 Developing enlightened self-
interest.
 Begin by practicing enlightened behaviours.
Here are some ideas to get you started now:

 Go out of your way to show positive feelings

towards others - gratitude, respect, trust -
which in turn will arouse goodwill from them.

 Choose some new activities in various life

areas - work, family, leisure - that will bring
goodwill.
14
 At the same time, act assertively. Ask for what
you want, say No to what you don’t, and tell
others (when appropriate) what you think and
how you feel.

 Make a point of doing something just for you each

day for a while.

 Until enlightened self-interest becomes part of

you, consciously seek to get more of what you
want while facilitating the interests of the other
people in your world.

15
 Great people leave their identity
behind. They know themselves that
they did not achieve it alone . They
know that behind their success lot
of people are involved without
whom this would not have been
possible.

16

 conclusion:~
 People should try to follow their
enlightened self-interest .
 One should prefer a long –term interest
over short term one.
 “Helping each other to help our selves”.
 In every transaction , if one operates with
the win lose attitude, than one can not
collaborate with anybody.
 By operating out off deep enlightened self
interest, contributors are able to account
for all stakeholders in complex real world
situation.
