Some lessons are learned the hard way. Some may be the turning points and leads further ahead the road.
Two things I learned the hard way are:
1. One should discharge his duty rather than being an ignorant or escapist. If you vacate your seat without discharging duties, some else is always waiting to take over your seat and may probably insult you in the days to come.
2. Once you are in a leadership position you should misuse the position to insult, humiliate or sideline the co-runner. A real leader is one who cares equally for the entire team.
What is commonly found lacking these days is the professionalism in attitude and discourse of duties:
1. What is decided in a meeting should be confirmed with whilst implementation.
2. And most importantly, what is discussed during the process of a decision making in an apex body meeting should be made public. All such internal discussions that are part of decision making process should not be made public, and what is binding should be the final decisions or conclusions arrived in the meeting.
