Most wouldn’t know a leader if they saw one
Thursday, July 26th, 2007Most of the ladies and gentlemen who mourn the passing of the nation’s leaders wouldn’t know a leader if they saw one. If they had the bad luck to come across a leader, they would find out that he might demand something from them, and this impertinence would put an abrupt and indignant end to their wish for his return.  ~ Lewis H. Lapham
Isn’t that the truth… I love that quote. Leaders - real leaders -ask change of us, ask growth of us, ask us to be or do more than we currently are being and doing. Far too many who clamor for leadership really only want someone fix and change others - while leaving them alone. After all, they reason ,they aren’t the problem.Â
If someone actually had the audacity to suggest they needed to do something, change something, or work to increase their competence and results …they would sadly attack that person’s competence.Â
It’s so good - let’s read it again! Most of the ladies and gentlemen who mourn the passing of the nation’s leaders wouldn’t know a leader if they saw one.
