Nanded Case -Power साठी Humanity हरवत चालली आहे |Avinash Chate
आजच्या स्पर्धात्मक जगात महत्त्वाकांक्षा गौरवली जाते. पण जेव्हा ही महत्त्वाकांक्षा विषारी बनते, तेव्हा ती माणुसकी, मूल्ये आणि नाती नष्ट करते. नांदेडमधील धक्कादाय...
Avinash Chate - Corporate Coach at annual leadership conference When the Hunger for Power Kills Humanity Ambition is often celebrated. We admire people who dream big, work hard, and rise above limitations. I too believe ambition is necessary for growth. It pushes individuals, teams, and institutions to perform at a higher level. But there is a dangerous line that must never be crossed. When ambition becomes more important than humanity, it stops being inspiring and starts becoming destructive. Key takeaway: The real tragedy begins not when people want success, but when they justify cruelty, silence their conscience, and treat human life, dignity, and relationships as obstacles. A recent incident from Nanded forces us to confront this uncomfortable truth. The reported case, where a father allegedly killed his seven-year-old daughter to meet an eligibility condition for contesting an election, is not just shocking. It is a brutal reminder of what happens when power becomes more valuable than morality. As Avinash Chate, I believe we must look beyond outrage and ask a deeper question: what happens inside the mind when a person disconnects from basic human values? Watch on YouTube → Ambition Is Not the Enemy, Moral Disengagement Is Let me be clear: ambition by itself is not wrong. In fact, ambition has built careers, companies, social movements, and meaningful change. I have worked with leaders across 1,000+ organizations, and I have seen how healthy ambition can inspire discipline, innovation, and service. The problem begins when ambition becomes toxic. Toxic ambition says, “The goal matters more than the method.” It says, “If the outcome is important, anything can be justified.” It slowly trains the mind to stop feeling the weight of its own actions. This is where the concept of moral disengagement becomes important. Moral disengagement is a psychological process through which people detach themselves from ethical standards. They do not always see themselves as evil. Instead, they create internal justifications. They rename wrongdoing. They shift blame. They minimize harm. They convince themselves that the victim is less important than the objective. When conscience is repeatedly ignored, the unacceptable starts looking practical, and the immoral starts looking necessary. This is why such incidents are not only legal failures or personal failures. They are moral failures. They reveal what happens when the desire for status, authority, or recognition hijacks the human mind. How People Justify the Unjustifiable Most terrible actions do not begin with a dramatic decision. They begin with small compromises. A lie is justified because it is “temporary.” A betrayal is excused because it is “strategic.” A harmful act is rationalized because it serves a “larger purpose.” Over time, the mind becomes skilled at defending what the heart should reject. In my work as a corporate trainer, TEDx speaker, and author of The Winning Edge , I often tell leaders that ch…
