Take Me To Your Leader

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” — John Quincy Adams

In times of crisis, we look to our leaders. For comfort and strength, for guidance and direction, for hope and encouragement.

For reassurance that we are not alone.

For reassurance that there’s a well-thought-out plan designed by our best and brightest with a role to play for each and every one of us.

For reassurance that we will all be okay — possibly even better than before — if we work together, uniting in shared purpose toward a common goal.

Basically, for leadership.

For many of us, especially those of us living in the Divided States of America, disappointment doesn’t even begin to describe what we are experiencing in the face of the vapid, vacuous, vainglorious, vituperative, vicious, villainous vacuum where past leaders of the free world once stood and which has turned the Oval Office into a gaping void of darkness.

A collective surreality show that was horrifying and heart-breaking enough when not facing a global pandemic of epic proportions.

As distressing, depressing, and deeply disturbing as it is, this leadership void is an opportunity, a gift in disguise. A chance to recognize that the leader and leadership we seek is actually right here with us.
