Three Musketeers Of The Business World: Pathos, Ethos And Logos - Marico's Next Gen
The process of Critical Thinking is inherent in everyone and is often the means to make the best decisions. While critical thinking is important, it often ignores the people involved and their emotions. It may help you arrive at the most logical conclusion, but that might not be enough to get your work done. Krishna Pratap Ramesh faced the same issue. A chemical engineer, NITIE alumnus and currently a Management Trainee at Marico, Krishna is an out and out logical person. Being an engineer, he had a very logical bent of mind and always placed ‘logic’ on a pedestal. He says, “I used to be a super logical person. I needed everything in a logical order and had a clear idea what should be done when, as guided by logic. When something did not go well despite the logic being precise, I would get irritated. That’s when my super-boss made me understand that everything doesn’t work according to logic all the time. The sequence usually goes like this - pathos, ethos and logos, i.e. emotions, followed by trust, and lastly, logic. This was something I had never considered and turned out to be the biggest learning for me when I interned with Marico.”
