YOU must take leadership!
We cannot afford to take idle time in the situation we’re in today. If the working families of America ever needed leadership? We need it now. Everyone has leadership quality.
That’s why I’m looking at you. We need leadership, you got it. Everyone has leadership quality, but most of us don’t use it. None of us can afford any further Indulgence.
I guess I should ask if you care. That would be the only. Screen that I would make. If you don’t care, then you probably need to reevaluate that, because everybody cares about everybody else.
So, I’m wanting you to take on leadership because it has to be done in the crisis that we’re in. I don’t think I need to go over the crisis, but just today we found out that the war effort that Trump is making in the Caribbean has gone so far that they are now attacking installations on the mainland.
On leadership, what is it? Well, the easy definition is just to say a leader has followers. Well, it’s obviously true. But it doesn’t really tell you much. In my studies of leadership, I learned a very valuable lesson when I was a elementary school teacher. Because some of the kids are leaders.
You do something called a sociogram, and you can find out which ones are. The kids are leaders, because in a sociogram, the children say who they look up to, or who they would like to spend time with, that sort of thing. And it turns out to be only a few of the people in the classroom.
A leader is someone who knows what to do next.
I guess you could refine that and say a leader is someone who is able to convince others that they know what to do next. But the trick is to actually know what to do next. Now, that might imply some study. Some of it is in books or stories. But a lot of study is just talking to other people and getting ideas.
You have to work within the framework that you have. But don’t start with the obstacles. You can get to the obstacles later and the problems and why it all won’t work or why it’s no use trying. You can get to that later. At this point, you’re just doing some studying and asking others and figuring things out.
Then. You have to analyze what’s possible. What framework are you working in? And you can look at the obstacles I guess at that time. The whole end of the process is that you come up with some options.
And this is where it gets interesting. This is where, for the first time,
what I’m asking you to do may seem a little hard. It’s not going to require any natural abilities, it’s just going to take a little bit of your courage.
The next step is for you to try something. If it doesn’t work. try something else. But by all means, try something. And finally. Never give up! As long as the need continues to exist. And it is impossible to deny. That’s a need for your leadership exists. Right now.
