As a part of the 'Organisational Behavior' curriculum, we've been mugging impressive, exotic sounding jargon like Pygmalion syndrome, Golem effect and all that jazz.

I can readily recall one notable exception whose performance at the helm of the Railway Ministry has improved remarkably despite the expectations from him being at an all time low.
