With the CAT results out and most of the aspirants busy prepping for the interviews with (more often than not) well coached and versed answers that make them look at their ethical best, I would like you all to keep this example in mind. This is not just for the interview or your B-School journey. But, for the long, exciting and uncertain careers lying ahead. As you wade through it you will find yourself in situations like the one Gilly found himself in. And just like the umpire, even the regulatory bodies might as well not notice any discrepancy. But, in those situations do make sure to stand up to what your moral compass tells you is right. Not only will you be appreciated for it but you will also be respected in your circles. To quote Gilly himself: " I think I’ve pretty much walked all the time when I thought I was out — it just happened to be the World Cup semi-final. It’s just the way I chose to play the game." - An excerpt from an interview with The Hindu.
If we, the business leaders of tomorrow too could do it the 'Gilly way' we could set a precedent for the generations to come.
