NDTV Profit’s weekly column examines leadership through two contrasting settings: boardroom exits and the conduct of a bureaucrat who went viral. Its central argument is that leadership is often judged by how, and when, people choose to walk away.
The source provides no further details about the individuals, organisations or incidents discussed. It frames the week’s lesson as a question of timing, conduct and accountability rather than title or position.
The easy narrative is that quitting always signals courage, or that a viral official automatically represents effective leadership. Neither conclusion follows from the limited facts available. A departure can reflect judgement or failure, while online attention can reward performance rather than public service. The useful test is what happened after each exit or episode, and whether measurable results support the impression.
