On the Journey

Where are all the Leaders?

Is it just me, or does it seem like we’ve recently lost a strong line of leaders in our economy, our government, our culture, and overall in our country? 

Everyone currently simply wants to cast blame on someone else, but not necessarily stand up and say “follow me.” What happened? 

A couple of years ago, Time claimed the person of the year was “you.” WE had arrived because we were able to control our own content, our own networks, our own free agent careers, our own investments, our own business, and our own way of life. 

But in times of crisis and time of fear and uncertainty, WE need someone to lead us. Please Mr. Senator, Mrs. Congresswomen, White House officials, Federal Reserve people- please lead us. And lead us now.

Amen! You can’t lead without taking responsibility.

Brad, great post! I completely agree. Team leadership is a great thing and personal responsibility is even greater, but there will always be a need for someone that has enough guts to take a stand and show leadership.

i was listening to an interview with Dick Morris tonight talking about how he used to poll sample debate answers and then poll them again to see which play on words and responses received the best response.

to me, i think this is part of our problem. people make decisions any more on what is perceived as popular versus what is needed.

truth and integrity is being subtly replaced by self preservation. it’s sad.
