Individuals, organisations and societies can be placed in   Shri Bagchi narrated his interactions with the Dalai Lama
              any of the four quadrants.                             and according to the Dalai Lama, “The purpose determines
                                                                     the  power.”    The  case  of  Odisha  in  Cyclone  Phailin
              The key driver for the low platform and low purpose    management is apt to describe the above mentioned
              person  is  existence.  Low  platform  and  high  purpose   ethos and ideology. The State geared up to the enormous
              persons are driven by altruism and path creation in some   challenge, took care of the short comings, and achieved
              cases. This is in contrast to a path dependent person who   the goal. This disaster management ability of Odisha is a
              just  follows a  path already  set.  High  platform and  low   role model in the national and international arena.
              purpose individuals are driven by consumption. High
              platform and high purpose persons are driven by a sense
              of legacy. These are not judgemental assessments; rather
              a method of self introspection. The key vulnerabilities in
              each of the quadrants are irrelevance, false comparison,
              emperor without clothes, and fear of scale.  The moot
              point  is  to  overcome  the  vulnerabilities,  get  charged
              by the drivers and be in the high purpose zone. There
              are  instances  when  persons  move  from  one  quadrant
              to another.
