WRECKED BY SUCCESS
Prabhat Singh is a 48-year-old senior manager of a software giant. He came from a very humble background and worked very hard at every stage of life. He displayed immense talent in the four years that he held his post. He was respected by his colleagues and looked up to by his subordinates.
Six months ago, he was promoted to the post of CEO of his company. Suddenly, his demeanor changed, and he became an overnight wreck. His punctuality, which was his hallmark, soon became his greatest worry. No matter how hard he tried, he could never make it to the office on time. There would always be trivial excuses for not being able to do things on time.
He could not handle meetings, avoided making decisions, and became extremely dependent on his junior staff for looking after his work. Even at home, he could not enjoy time with his family. He was always irritable with his children and became a nuisance for them.
