This post is a continuation of an article from this month’s newsletter titled “Share Your Fierce Perspective.” You can find the article here. Please read the article and we would love to hear your perspective on the following two questions:
What have you done up to this point?
What options are you considering?
In April of 2008, an article by Ellen McGirt in Fast Company attempted to explain the President’s appeal, particularly to young constituents. McGirt wrote, “While a visionary puts forth a specific plan to be implemented, an adaptive leader works with constituents to devise one together.” And that Obama… “reinforces the notion that everyone is included and that this movement is actually a conversation to which everyone is invited.” Bravo!
The challenge is that when President Obama gathers around him people with competing perspectives in order to arrive at the best possible decisions for all of us, ingrained human behavior and politics as usual will get squarely in the way. If ever there was a time to transform an ineffective “culture”, this is it.
