A Professional gets more contentment to be recognized as a Good Leader with hard earned Respect, admiration from his or her colleagues /associates/subordinates than "money" or 'wealth". One of the attribute of True & motivational Leadership is How a Leader or Professional reacts to the "Success" or "Failure" situation?
An incident usually narrated by Resource persons during many Leadership development programs, which dates back to the period when our Former President Shri APJ Kalam was Project Director for a particular Satellite Launch & Shri Satish Dhawan was the Head of ISRO. In the first attempt, the Launch was utter failure & as Project Director Shri Kalam was supposed to be present in the Press/Media briefing, but Shri Satish Dhawan, the then Chief of ISRO completely isolated Shri Kalam from Media & himself faced Media taking the complete responsibility of Failure as Chief of ISRO & assured to resurrect the Project.

On the day of failure, Dhawan interacted with Kalam on various issues, but never did the job of "digging out" causes of failure on the nervous moments & during the period of sadness for complete Project team.
After few days, Shri Dhawan again motivated the Team to rejuvenate the Project under Shri Kalam.Again the day of Launch came, this time Launch was completely successful. Project team was happy, anticipating Shri Dhawan to go to address the Media, but this time Shri Dhawan told Shri Kalam to address the press/media & share the Success of the project & went ahead to attend a meeting in the Ministry. It was a pleasant surprise for the Project team, having given opportunity to take Credit of the success, but at the Failure time, their Leader was very much there to take the burden on his head alike Lord Shiva.
