What I Leant Business Ethics from English Literature

 I have been fortunate to learn the art of writing from the knowledgeable Razib Ahmed. He possesses a wealth of expertise in the field of Ecommerce, and what sets his teaching apart is his ability to draw lessons from various facets of life. For instance, he imparts valuable business insights using poetry and literature. Take, for example, the lessons I derived from Shakespeare's "Macbeth." One crucial takeaway is that while we may have ambitious goals, we must not resort to unethical or irregular actions to achieve them. In a sense, when Lady Macbeth stabs Duncan, it reminds me to always exercise caution. Just as in the story, we should be wary of betrayals and not trust individuals who might deceive us, as they could potentially harm our business or undermine our leadership.

Additionally, the narrative of Banquo in "Macbeth" teaches us not to tolerate dishonesty. Dealing with cheaters can jeopardize our standing or even dethrone our leadership. When faced with danger or when our family and daily needs are at stake, it's essential to safeguard them. We must also pay attention to seemingly insignificant details that could pose a threat to our business. Creating a healthy and supportive environment for our partners and employees is paramount, as an unhealthy atmosphere can divert us from the right path.

Furthermore, we must always plan for succession by identifying individuals who can steer the ship and become the next leaders in our business. Proper training is crucial for their development. Without this foresight, a company may not have a sustainable future.

From Samuel Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," I've gleaned the importance of crafting compelling narratives that inspire people to perform acts of kindness and contribute to the well-being of society. The curse that befalls the crew after the Albatross is killed serves as a reminder that we should carefully consider our actions and avoid making rash decisions that could jeopardize our business. Learning from our mistakes leads to peace of mind and drives dedicated efforts toward success. Teamwork is a powerful tool for achieving our goals, but we must not give up on each other mid-way.

Finally, from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," I've learned that effective leadership requires negotiation skills to resolve conflicts. A failure to address disputes can lead to long-term feuds and disrupt ongoing processes. Adaptability is key in business, and we should constantly innovate to stay competitive in the market. Leaders should prioritize their team members' expectations and maintain strong emotional relationships within the team.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Razib Ahmed for his noble and effective teaching style, delivered online from Digital Skills for Bangladesh. I am immensely grateful to have him as a mentor, and I look forward to continuing my journey of learning and skill development under his guidance. Bless me on this path.
