Ever heard a politician say something that actually made you stop scrolling?

This is one of those times.

Rajyavardhan Rathore, Olympic medalist & Sports Minister of Rajasthan, lost his cool in a meeting. Why?

Because basic ramps for divyang (differently-abled) athletes weren't built.

And then he said this:

"Build ramps for the divyang. Even if you have to take the money from me, build it."

Mic drop.

This isn't just anger. It's a refusal to accept excuses (not even "budget issues") for excluding people.

It reframes accessibility from a "favor" to a non-negotiable RIGHT.

Think about it:

For a wheelchair user, a ramp = freedom.

It's the difference between being a spectator and a participant.

Between dependence and independence.

Yet, we build inaccessible worlds every day.

Rathore's outburst is a masterclass in empathetic leadership. It's about feeling outrage when policies fail on the ground.

It’s a reminder that true "vikas" (development) is only real when it includes everyone.

When your team is under extreme pressure, it is very common for a leader to react hastily, rushing to fix or blame them. 

But here is the catch!

Leadership is tested exactly at this time, when things go wrong, when your team is underperforming and starts to lose focus.  It is in this situation that a leader's effective communication with strong empathy and clarity matters the most. 

Hi, I am George Eapen, and for over 20 years, I’ve helped leaders like you navigate these uncertain situations—not by reacting. But by communicating in ways that build trust among your team and position you as a leader, they look up to and rely on you.

Are you a leader who reacts a lot when your team is under pressure instead of guiding them forward? If yes, then this is the time to shift your Mindset!
