The One-Man Show

Inside Kashmir's offices, power and insecurity often overshadow talent and fairness.

- Dr. Imran Khan

For most adults, work is the single largest part of life. It structures our days, shapes our relationships, and often becomes central to our identity.

A person's profession can feel like his anchor to purpose and respect in Kashmir, where jobs are limited and competition intense.

Ask someone, “Who are you?” and they answer with a title: engineer, doctor, or principal.

For those in positions of power, their identity often collapses entirely into the role they occupy.

Work should be a place of growth, creativity, and meaning. It should allow people to bring their skills, ideas, and personality into the workplace. But sadly, too many organizations turn work into a performance stage for a single ego.

When fairness is absent, opportunity is hoarded, and flattery is rewarded over merit, work becomes punishment.

Employees face daily dilemmas: stay silent and survive, or speak up and risk being sidelined. Families depend on salaries, making the moral struggle intensely personal.

Psychology explains why some bosses insist on a “one-man show.”
