Teachers are found everywhere, in the classroom, seminar hall or the conference room or the boss’s office. I have been fortunate to have learnt under the shadow of generous teachers who have opened doors, given second chances where I deserved none and hence I am still around. Not the best student at all, but a person who had eclectic interests, I have learnt more by osmosis from watching leaders around me then in the classroom.

Dazzling teachers such as Dr K or Prof Sidaway at NUS stand out, in the recent past. All my consulting bosses have been great teachers. Salaam to all of them.
