During my first year in the Student Union, I was responsible for organizing a celebration for Teachers’ Day. Another member offered an excellent idea to me, but I was worried that he might take over my position and my leadership role. Once more, he also had a bad impression in my mind due to his poor academic performance. I faced an ethical dilemma on whether I should put forward his idea in the weekly meeting or not. Although I could ignore his idea and safely keep my position, it may have a negative impact on our team’s performance during the celebration. After weighing the values of both sides, I decided to work out a newly improved idea and plan. My efforts won the team over and our plan ensured excellent outcomes for the event. Through this experience, I learned to work rationally when facing competition. My future leadership perspective was deeply influenced and I learned to work fairly and ethically. I was able to let go of my personal bias and focus on the team’s interest rather than my own.
