This paper argues that the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Myanmar must be cognizant of the fears and anxieties of those troubled most by the rapid changes and erosion of their long-held privileges and prerogatives. It is also important to engage constructively with the Tatmadaw without perturbing its hierarchical order and chain of command. At this point in time it may be best for Myanmar to let personalities trump institutions, but it is imperative to immediately launch a serious effort to build up viable institutions that will steadily diminish the need for strong personalities to lead the nation.
