When things go wrong, the cameras zoom in.
Not when you rise. When you slip.

The IndiGo meltdown is a reminder of a hard truth in life and leadership:

“More people are waiting to watch your fall than cheer your rise.”

Most will enjoy the spectacle.
Very few will stand next to you in the chaos.

So, build your life and leadership for the fall, not the applause:

• Lead as if every decision will be replayed on a viral video.
• Treat people well before you need their support.
• Measure who stays close when you are losing, not winning.

Reputation is not built in your peak.
It is revealed in your worst week.
