The Suspension of 8 Badminton Players and What we can learn as Managers
The Point made in favor of the players : " They were playing according to the rules, don't punish them, change the rules." (the robin round system)
The Point made in favor of the decision to suspend them: The players were suspended as they were "Not giving one's best effort" despite warning from the referee in at least one case.
Though I partially agree with both of the points, I feel, that though the decision was right, but the logic behind it wasn't!
My logic: There is a thin line between "strategy" and "abuse of rules", in this case, it was clearly the later one, because it was morally and sportingly incorrect to use the rules in such a abusive manner.
(mind that, I don't usually make decision based on morals, but this time, my heart (morals) and my brain (logic) are pointing in the same direction. )
In simple words, not giving your best against (lets say) your friend at the local court, would make him angry, since it is morally as well sportingly invalid to do so.
Now what I'm trying to point is this:
Was their decision right: YES
Was their logic (official reason) right: NO
So by giving this example, I want to share one of my personal sayings:
" Your decision does matters, but what matters more is how you get to that decision. "
In layman language, if your way of thinking is correct, your decision will be correct and justified, though the reverse of this wont always be possible.
