20. 20 Question 8 Dushasana was disrobing Draupadi in King Dhritarashtra's court amidst great personages like Bheeshmacharya, Kripacharya and Dronacharya, who were all aware that the act was wrong. All wise men were aware that what was being done was an atrocious act, but all remained mute spectators. It was only Vidura (minister of King Dhritarashtra and also his younger brother) who gathered courage to tell Bheeshma in no uncertain terms: "You are a man who can discriminate between good and bad. Such a noble person like you should not remain a silent spectator when such an atrocious act is being perpetrated. Why do you just keep quiet?"

21. 21 Question 8 Bheeshma replied thus to the query of Vidura: Draupadi being dishonoured in the Kaurava court "What can I do when the wicked people and Lord Krishna protecting her honour perpetrate such sub-human acts?" Vidura then reacted thus: "No! The one who does, the one who encourages, the one who acts as a mute/helpless witness, and the one who does not express the disapproval in unequivocal terms despite being aware that it is wrong- all are equally guilty." The lesson that we can learn from this epic is regarding "X". When something is going wrong that may affect the survival and prosperity of the organisation, it is the duty of wise people (managers) involved in the decision-making process to express opinions objectively in a polite manner without offending anybody.
