I was not having it all, when Anne-Marie Slaughter’s article Why Women Still Can’t Have It All, caused an uproar. When I stopped having the travel part of IT ALL, I had time to write that the real question is how to change the gender based determination of which ITs men can have and which ones women can have, and offer two solutions.
Dear Leader:
As we begin our journey together, I thought it a good idea to let you know what I would most appreciate from you. I hope you do not think it is too bold of me to speak so directly and honestly to you from the start.
You must jump through the hoop of Fire, and
Skate to the middle of the Pond
to face the Ogre
So Fear…
A tale of one extraordinary leader, one great manager, and why both are needed.
Elephants have much to teach us about why we need men leading boys, and men from oppressed regimes, to manhood.
We choose our leaders and too often we choose the narcissistic leader. Why? More importantly how can we stop.
Be bold because the idea chose you and you owe it your boldness, your passion.
Be bold because you can lead.
Be humble because the idea does not belong to you.
Be humble because you did not create the leader in you.
If you want great people working for you, people who give their best, you need to see the best in them, show them what you see and tell them how they make a difference that matters. Hold up that vision so they can see it too. Here’s how.
We are searching NOWLeaders who focus on a purpose that extends beyond the bottom line, with tendrils and tentacles that reach out to the local, national and global communities they serve, who lead collaboratively, who…. Will you help us find them?
We help you master the “most difficult” things.
