Here there is no materialistic motive for
18
doing anything, it's not that some business
target will get missed, it's nit that it's matter
of life and death or any such issue. You will
not even be paid for all your efforts. Yet in
social groups you will see leaders emerge
and stand out from time to time.
Lessons in Leadership from the
Bikers Community.
I have a few stories to share from which I
would like to draw a few analogies on
Leadership.
What happened on 26th January 2016
was one incident.
Sarang was the leader for that Epic ride
where he was leading almost 300 riders
across the city. He got injured at the onset
when a car came hurtling through a
crossroad and rammed straight into his left
leg. He was thrown some distance and on
being helped up, found that he had injured
his foot pretty badly. It was bleeding
profusely and swelling rapidly. He could
have stopped right then and gone to the
hospital; in fact that would have been the
sensible thing to do. However, that is not
what he did. He rode through agonising
pain which was only visible in his eyes;
while his demeanour was that of the
energetic, passionate and crazy leader
needed to guide 300 riders to their
destination. He showed immense Courage
and Commitment for all riders by riding &
leading the group for the next 2 hours. He
was committed to fulfilling the objective of
the day and guiding everyone to the
required destination, he excused himself
and rushed to the hospital where he found
that he had fractured his foot and would
be in a cast for the next month.
