I was a diplomat for most of my career.
In India, in all Civil Services, including Foreign Services, we retire at 60. In my case, I was asked to stay for two more years and join the National Security Council.
The first task assigned was to look at what was happening in Cybersecurity.
They wanted me to get everybody to communicate.

The most important thing is to be humble. Do not be arrogant.
It took months of negotiation and a number of meetings to come to a conclusion where we felt everybody had got some fair share of the responsibility and a fair allocation of work.

For me, success would mean achieving a task well and with the best possible outcome.
