Leading Leaders

We all play a role in leadership. No one is a permanent leader. The process is constantly shifting from Discuss, to Decide to Do, utilizing Experts, Executives and Everybody Else. Experts Discuss problems and form solutions. Executives Decide on which solution will be most efficient and effective. Everybody Else must buy into the solution and participate in its enactment to better lifestyles and fuel Happiness. The Vision is a future driven by Sustainable Development for all. The Mission involves all, and is in danger, if anyone is left uneducated, driven purely by Ego or Greed. Hence, understanding Leadership or Education is vital.

The Human Condition

Centuries after centuries the human race has been taught to pursue resources and hoard anything that could attract a value as wealth. It is unfortunate that human beings have chosen to divide up the planet’s natural resources. This system worked via individual physical strength, until family, tribe, and social power defeated the individual warrior king. Manipulation and Management systems were introduced as soon as a method was found to value a productive individual male/female human being. Attempts at true and total equality has never worked. Equality seems unattainable as every societal grouping, race, religion, etc., has always had and survives with a hierarchy system.

Happiness

The God sent pandemic of 2020 will leave the World with better hygiene, and Safe distancing practices. There is No such thing as Individual happiness – Happiness is communal. The individual pursuit of more money, wealth, and power will destroy the human race. Communities which share resources, and responsibilities, for and with each other, prosper. We must close the wealth gap and provide a basic living standard for all. A society with Jobs (Purpose) for all #EconomicDrivers, well built and maintained #Infrastructure, mandatory and compulsory Lifelong #Education, Free or Affordable #Healthcare and of course, Justice for All #Security, is a Happy Society.

Life before Lifestyles

I continuously think of myself as a leader. As many would seek my thoughts on future societal trends. But I confess that I played no role in the early alarms of the COVID-19 pandemic. Given my age and present state of health, I started wearing face coverings from very early and called on others to do so. I sympathize with the families of the dead, the ill, those economically displaced and those on all frontlines. As I foresee mitigation measures as having to last an exceptionally long time. This new reality will be different, better I hope, but difficult for many of us.

This is NOT the last Crisis!

YES, SYNERGIES! The interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, operations, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate resilient effects.

Understanding that society effects everything in an individual’s life. And that politicians are communicators between specialists and the public.
