One lazy afternoon,I was just lying down doing nothing significant.Suddenly there were sparks from the wiring and I ran to mom who was busy in the kitchen .
“Run, Run” I yelled .She just shouted “stop” and ran to fetch the long wooden drying stick.Within a flash, she switched off the mains in the drawing room bringing the whole chaos into control.I felt stupid,but this episode remained etched in my mind .
After a few years of being married, I was with my baby playing on the mat and my elderly father-in-law lying on the bed engrossed in his reading .Suddenly there were sparks flying from the celing wires. He panicked. I ran and got a wooden stick and switched the mains in a flash bringing everything under control. I received a lot of accolades for my quick thinking,I thanked my mom quietly.
Lesson
As manager of the house /senior my mom had used her experience and quick thinking .She ensured that I was around to witness it.She did not preach me about the same .But had faced the adversity head on and thus lead from the front.
In a business scenario the seniors have to be role models and lead from the front .They have to be there when there is crisis .Thus moulding future leaders .
