When the Curtain Rises

I learned everything about life from the stage.
Once the curtain goes up, the performance belongs to the actor.
If the actor isn’t given full trust, they can’t grow—and the play falls apart.
It’s the same in business.
When the curtain rises, the leader must hand the spotlight to the team.
If the team isn’t moved to give their best,
the company won’t thrive.
When the curtain rises,
only the actors remain on stage.
The director, the writer, the crew—they all fade into the background.
The success of the show, the laughter and tears of the audience,
rest entirely in the actor’s hands.
That’s why preparation matters.
That’s why practice matters.
And when the moment comes,
you have to be ready to step in fully.
That’s what makes a great actor.
That’s what makes a great leader.
