The Non-contributor Researcher who is disengaged

This research project is becoming very tough now. As long as it needed only the procedures that my senior had told me, it was okay. I don’t understand all this now… I give up! It is easier to just ask my senior to tell me the answers and what to do.

The Contributor Researcher who engages deeply

This research project is challenging for me… the deeper I go into the subject, the clearer I become about these concepts. I am able to find new answers to these problems… I am discovering how amazing this subject is

It is comfortable to just do what people give you, do enough work to fill the day, have long tea breaks, leave for home on time, etc. If I commit to the success of this project then I will have to give up those conveniences and be accountable to the team and its goals… so I’d rather not do

Case storiesI would like to tell you some stories about “How a Contributor engage deeply with their Work?”

Case Story 1 : Brooklyn BridgeIn 1883, an engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea tobuild a spectacular bridge connecting New York with Long Island. Bridgebuilding experts throughout the world thought that this was anImpossible feat and told Roebling to forget it as it had never been done Before. Roebling knew that it could be done. He shared the dream with His son Washington, an upcoming engineer. Working together, the father And son.Developed concept of how the dream could be accomplished. With greatinspiration and excitement about the wild challenge before them, theyhired their crew to build the dream bridge. Few months into theproject there was an on-site accident. John Roebling died in it.Washington was injured and was left with brain damage, and could not talk or move.Everyone thought the project would be scrapped since the Roebling were the only oneswho knew how the bridge could be built. Despite his handicap, Washington still had a burning desire to complete the bridge. He tried to inspire and pass on his enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too afraidto take up the task.As he lay on his bed in his hospital room, with the sunlight streaming through, an idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. Bymoving this finger, he slowly developed a code of communication by tapping his finger,with his wife through which he communicated to his engineers. He also encouraged hiswife to study higher mathematics, strengths of different materials, etc. It seemed foolish,but the project was under way again.For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions using his finger until the bridge wasfinally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory

Case Story 2 : Ratan Tata’s promise of safe road travel for middle-class Indian families

Ratan Tata, the head of the Tata Group, was moved every time he saw wholefamilies travelling on two-wheelers, a common sight in India.He was inspired to think of how travel could be made safer for familiesfrom the growing Indian middle-class, without having to resort to expensivemeans. He did not want to simply make another stylish and small, butunaffordable car. That is when he hit upon the idea of manufacturing a smallcar – with a price tag of one lakh rupees, and no more.Though his idea was widely criticized, he remainedfocused on his goal. Initially in 2003, he thoughtof making a four-wheeler out of scooter parts butit did not work out and the team had to struggle alot. Mr. Tata spent a lot of his time on this projectand monitored it closely until the Nano design wasconceived.By 2011, Mr. Tata proved his critics wrong and the car was already popular on Indian roads.The car had numerous cost-cutting features, and Mr. Tata was able torealize his dream of giving the Indian public an affordable yet modern car.But he does not stop there.“We have to commit to making the product better all the time - so, fiveyears from now, it is not the same Nano,” he said.
