00:00Welcome to minutes mastery by 3T today we are going to understand the Bermuda
00:14Triangle effect a term used in management and psychology to describe
00:19situations where information resources or even people seemingly vanish in a
00:25confusing or chaotic environment the term Bermuda Triangle was coined by
00:31Vincent Gaddis in his 1964 book titled invisible barriers a study of mysterious
00:37disappearances of aircraft and sailing vessels it's a popular myth that suggests
00:44that planes and ships mysteriously disappear in the triangular area of the
00:50Atlantic Ocean bounded by Bermuda Miami and Puerto Rico all the numerous theories
00:57have been proposed about the cause of these disappearances from supernatural
01:02to scientific ones there is no concrete evidence to support them most incidents
01:08in the Bermuda Triangle can be attributed to common environmental
01:12factors such as poor weather conditions like violent storms or hurricanes
01:17methane gas eruptions from the ocean floor rogue waves or even mechanical
01:23failures due to the human error and navigational issues interestingly
01:28filmmakers have made fiction horror films or even psychological thrillers
01:34regarding the same the Bermuda Triangle effect is used as a management jargon to
01:40indicate number one organizational dysfunction when projects or people get
01:46lost in bureaucratic complexity secondly for communication breakdown
01:51where important messages or data are consistently lost or misunderstood in
01:57any organization and thirdly for mystification in decision-making when
02:02managers or leaders encounter seemingly unexplainable setbacks in strategic
02:09initiatives to illustrate Bermuda Triangle effect is evident in many large
02:16scale infrastructure projects in India like the construction of highways
02:20metros or even government housing schemes we have seen delays and budget
02:26overruns due to excessive bureaucratic red tapism as in case of the Mumbai
02:31trans harbor link project here the project got lost in bureaucratic
02:37complexity just as ships and planes used to disappear I can also remember
02:43another example during the pandemic that is the oxygen crisis when some state
02:49governments claimed shortage of supplies while central authorities gave
02:54conflicting data about stock availability it was like the Bermuda
02:59Triangle effect so in conclusion while the Bermuda Triangle also known as the
03:06devil's triangle is a myth its metaphorical use is a suggestion to
03:12professionals to avoid chaotic or mysterious disruptions in processes stay
03:19tuned for minutes mastery and join us again tomorrow morning
