The simple head of team........

Yesterday a high ranked team of donor agencies visited our hospital. I had received a notice that the team will be coming in a day or two. I did some preparations in terms of managerial issues, as I wanted to be ready for any question or information they would ask for. So finally they arrived and I was called that they are in the hospital waiting. Some of the team were expatriates and some were Afghan nationals. After initial introduction, we had a tour of hospital. I was leading the team, and explaining about different departments. At the middle of the tour, I saw someone quit simple, entered the room, headed his way to the middle of team and after a brief greeting asked questions and started leading everything. I did not know him, I thought that he may one of the lower ranked people, accompanying the team, and I was not feeling ok answering all of his questions. I was thinking to stop him, but I didn’t do so. As we finished one of the departments, all team members stepped back, opened the way and he was asked “This way sir!” After that I found that he was not the ordinary person, he was head of that high ranked team. I was happy I had not stopped him and after that I was feeling easy answering all his questions and comments.
