WYWTD- Bitting your tongue

A few days ago, the President of an organization that I am involved purposed changes to events that have happened annually for what seems like decades now. Many people, including myself, feel that since the person who took the position as President has gone a power trip ever since she assumed the position. She has many fine qualities that are required as a President and for the most part she does her job but sometimes, people on the executive board just want to punch her in the face to put it nicely. Anyways, when she purposed to change events, another executive board member threw a fit and while she did state her concerns for the change, she did not tell the President how she felt about the situation and her presidency as a whole. I was talking to the other executive board member and asked why she didnt say what she wanted to say and her response was simply respect. Even though she does not agree with what she is doing, she had to respect her decision and her position as President. I understand this reason because sometimes there are situations that I want to say something or do something but dont simply because I respect the person and it would be rude and improper to act or say otherwise.

RESPECT.
