Panel for Top Govt, PSU Jobs

Apropos “Infy Starts Hunt for CEO ”(ET, Apr 12), the search for talent for the right person for the top job at the grand old industrial house Tatas and now in young Infosys shows there is no substitute for experience.
Government has also been subjected to unhappy situations in top appointments in the public sector and in the government itself. It’s time to appoint a high-level commission that should have professional representation from government, regulatory bodies, judiciary, CAG, management institutes and the UPSC, among others, to make recommendations on recruitment for positions above a certain level in government and public sector.

High level appointments

This refers to the report “Infosys Kickstarts Search for First Non-founder CEO ”(April 12). The ‘competetion’ infusing which into the system was one of the objectives of privatisation as part of economic reforms has come full circle in the Indian context. Search for talent for top level appointments even in family or industrial group controlled private sector establishments too is getting tougher and tougher. The recent experiences in the grand old industrial house Tatas and now in young Infosys respectively show that experience counts and there is no substitute for experience.
Government has also been subjected to certain unhappy situations in relation to top level appointments in public sector and within the government as well, and should think of some damage control in HR area. Of late, several questions relating to suitability, tenure and methods of selection are being raised in public about high level appointments in government and public sector including statutory bodies like RBI, SEBI and PFRDA.
Time is opportune to appoint a High Level Commission(HLC) which should have professional representation from government, regulatory bodies, judiciary, CAG’s Office, management institutes like IIM and the Union Public Service Commission among others, to study and make recommendations on all aspects of procedure for recruitment/selection of candidates for various positions above a certain level in government and public sector and to suggest transparent norms for their career progression.
