by Muhammad Yunus
Muhammad Yunus creation of the Grameen
Bank has been a success and classic case study in poverty alleviation
strategies. Although he is an economist and a large component of his
success is due to economic principles, he rightly recognizes the
human aspect of his organization.
I am happy that they consider me
more as a teacher than as a boss. With a boss, one has to be formal,
but with a teacher the relationship is more informal, even spiritual.
One can discuss one's problems and weaknesses more freely. One can
admit personal mistakes without fear of triggering an official
sanction. Traditional bank officials need their office, their papers,
their desk, and their telephone for support. They feel lost without
these props. But you can strip everything away from a Grameen
employee, and still at heart he or she remains a teacher.
