True leadership

Jon Gordon, best-selling author and leadership coach to the Clemson football team, LA Rams, TX Rangers and Dell Computer outlines the characteristics of great leaders. 

• Small ego, big mission.
• We before me.
• A lot of love and accountability.
• A lot of grace and truth.
• Demanding but not demeaning.
• Loving but not enabling.
• Shout praise. Whisper criticism.
• High standards, low tolerance for excuses.

There are millions of leaders in American business who have most if not all of these qualities. I've seen them. I work with them. How is it we managed to elect to the most important leadership position in the world a man with literally none of these?
It's not worth the key-strokes unless this is a healthy way for you to vent?

Honestly, I believe Trump when he said he could kill a man in broad daylight on 5th avenue in NY and not lose a vote amongst the base.

“There’s a lot of good police officers. There’s thousands of perfect traffic stops. Lot of good men. Lot of good women. But those don’t get the stories,” Swinney said. “There’s some criminals that wear badges. Guess what? There’s some criminals that work in the media. There’s some criminals that are football coaches. There’s some criminals that are politicians. There are criminals that work in churches. It’s so easy to say we have a race problem, but we got a sin problem. It’s just my opinion. That’s Dabo’s opinion.”
To activists who have decried the state of America, Swinney said “some of these people need to move to another country.”


^^....sounds Trumpian.  I agree.

His base didn't seem to understand that he was insulting them when he said that, but he was right. 

Yeah, there might be some venting in it, but I also think we need reminding just how nuts it is that million of Americans actually WANTED this man to be our president. I think many of them mistook his doltishness and lack of any real leadership skills as the "fresh voice of an outsider."

It's OK to want someone who isn't a career politician, but if you take it too far, is what you end up with.

And the frustrating part of all this,  both parties were sent a clear message last election that we are sick of the career politicians that are just puppets of the machine.... and their response was same ol same ol.

It's not same ol same ol. It's gotten worse with the so called political newbie. Please don't try to equate the two.

Its a similar refrain in our household...

My wife fumes about POTUS, way more than I do (even though our vitriol for the man, his value equation and his policies are equal)

I tell her he is who he is, it's very transparent. But my dear, your anger is pointed at the wrong person. Be disappointed and upset with those that actually voted him in. I'm not convinced they got what they were hoping for either.

We'll see where the chips fall in November.

Both are pieces of shit,  just the color of ties they choose to wear.  Biden is by no means a virtuous candidate to waive in the faces of trump supporters.  It will once again be a hold your nose and vote election.

Im not tossing the virtuosity of Biden in the face of anyone...I can only obviously speak for myself on this.

I absolutely believe 4 more years of Trump will continue the erosion of moral decency in the country, accelerate harming our planet, further erode our influence in the world and poison the relationships with our key allies. Ones formed fighting fascism and the alt right 75 years ago.

Perhaps our "allies" needed to be shaken up a little,  our position as the global funding agency and the country that takes most of the risk and doesnt get the appreciation it deserves,  hell yes it was time to equal the playing field,  even if that meant pissing off a bunch of countries that have their own shiitty closest but instead want to piss and moan about trump.  

Trump  has screwed up plenty,  but our global image is the least of my concerns considering what American blood has done for this world and how poorly we have been viewed for far longer than the last 4 years. 

They dont like him because he called them out on their shit and how they have abused their relationship with our country.
