Once a school invited me for academic audit of its staff. When I met the Manager and the principal, both said, “Sir, these three teachers are not suitable for our school. They often say ‘no’ to any additional work. Appraise them carefully.”
I kept quiet.
After the exercise I found those teachers were far better than others. One, who was close to the Manager and principal, was the worst.
I called ‘No Sayers’ one by one in private and asked, “Why do you say ‘no’ to extra work?” The replies were
(1) Sir, I say ‘no’ because my ‘doing capacity’ does not permit me.
(2) Sir, should I deteriorate my performance by accepting additional work?
(3) Sir, saying ‘no’ is not my hobby but my compulsion. I don’t want to do injustice with my duty.
I agreed with the three.
