Self Improvement: Leadership • Published: November 4, 2020
After, more than four decades, of involvement including, nearly, every area of leadership, from identifying, and qualifying potential leaders, to training, developing, and consulting to over a thousand, actual, and/ or, potential leaders, I have come to believe, strongly, if these individuals, would, simply, STOP making the same mistakes, over, and over, again, there would be far more potential, for true, effective, quality leadership! Unfortunately, many organizations, these days, suffer, from an apparent, dearth of finding an appropriate leader, and, therefore, often, settles, for less than the best person, to fit an important position! With that in mind, this article will attempt…

After, over four decades, of involvement, in, nearly, all areas of leadership, from identifying, and qualifying potential leaders, training, and developing them, and consulting to thousands of actual, and potential leaders, I have come to realize, all – too – often, the biggest obstacle to being a quality…

The Vision Gap In America!: 6 Examples
News and Society • Published: November 4, 2020
When Donald Trump, campaigned, and ran for President, in 2015 and 2016, he used a seemingly, effective, campaign slogan, Make America Great Again. Perhaps, we should have been concerned, because, not only, does this indicate, his belief, we needed to go back, to greater times (thus, assuming, we no longer, are great), but, it suggested, his vision, instead of looking to proceed, with a viable plan, and solution, to address, the evolving changes, and needs, now, in a relevant way, and, in the future, in a sustainable one, he sought the so – called, good – old – days)!

When, Donald Trump, ran, his surprisingly, successful, campaign, in 2015, and 2016, and was, then, elected, President of the United States, he emphasized, his slogan, Make America Great Again. This slogan, has, potentially, a variety of meanings, dependent upon, who, looks at it! Unfortunately, it seems, the focus of the President, was on dividing us, rather than trying to create a meeting – of – the- minds, for the common good, and often, made statements, many perceived as being, divisive, polarizing, prejudiced (against minorities, women, LGBT, etc)!

What Should The SOUL Of America Represent?
News and Society • Published: November 2, 2020
In most political campaigns, little time, and/ or, effort, is spent, trying to fully consider options and alternatives, and, articulating a positive message, stating why one deserves the public’s trust, and explaining, not only, where one stands, but, how any plan will effectively address needs and priorities, and the true costs of proceeding forward, as compared to the risks/ dangers, of proceeding, merely, with the same – old, same – old! Too often, all we hear is political rhetoric, and empty promises, in an attempt at playing, populist politics, instead of considering ramifications, sustainability, etc!

6 Dangers Of Populist Leadership!
News and Society • Published: October 30, 2020
We have always, witnessed, and experienced, some degree of populist leadership. However, today, we observe, a somewhat, dangerous, degree of populism, which, often, includes, using empty rhetoric, and promises, instead of, seriously, considering, the best path, forward, to enhance and protect our future, while addressing the challenges, presented to us, at – present! Although, it may be human nature, to try to blame others, and then complain about the results, of doing so, populism only works, because voters, are often, manipulated, by telling them, what they want to hear, instead of what, they need to know, and consider.
