The power of trust in leadership — Mohammad Eisa Ruhullah
SEPTEMBER 1 — Every now and then, I find myself doing something that probably makes very little financial sense.It...
On September 1, an unnamed professor shared a story about the power of trust in leadership. The professor explained how he regularly pays for two or more tables at a local nasi kandar restaurant, often without receiving a thank you. The professor emphasized that these anonymous acts of kindness remind us that goodness can still arrive from someone we may never meet again.
The professor highlighted small moments of kindness, such as a driver letting another car merge, a customer thanking a cleaner, a lecturer remembering a struggling student, an employer speaking respectfully to a new staff member, a neighbor collecting someone else's parcel, and a stranger returning a dropped wallet. The professor argued that these seemingly insignificant moments are the true essence of Malaysia, as they shape the country we experience daily.
He encouraged readers to celebrate Merdeka and Hari Malaysia by remembering the sacrifices that brought the nation together, while also acknowledging the role each person plays in leaving behind a small version of Malaysia in the lives of those they meet each day.
