Welcome!
I am strong believer in the importance of leadership. Not only from the person at the top of the organizational chart, but also throughout the organization. Each member of the leadership team as well as every member of the organization accepting their role in maintaining the organizational culture and achieving the overall organizational objectives.
The ability for organizations to achieve sustainable success is to be able to trust in their core principles in good times and bad to weather any storm and ride through waves of prosperity. When you lose that leadership culture, you overreact to every moment and are not able to sustain.
The biggest challenge when there is a lack of leadership is what fills that gap. Many times, there are bad actors that are trying to exploit division, indecisiveness, and chaotic moments to gain power. And we are seeing that firsthand right now. Effective leadership and strong values can fight off extremism. Weakness invites it.
Whether in business, sports, and politics, it is important to have a solid leadership culture and strong set of organizational values. And we are seeing the results good and bad in different arenas of our society at the same time.
THE RADICALS TAKE OVER:
People who have demonstrated strong anti-American sentiments are unfit to serve in any leadership position. Voters should be very wary of allowing these individuals to exploit what should be momentary discomforts in favor of ideals that are far worse.
DEAL OR NO DEAL:
The challenge from the very start was what the end might look like. There was legitimate worry about the trustworthiness of those who we would be negotiating with. There may not be a trustworthy person in that government. And maybe we really do not need a deal.
ANOTHER PHILLY CHAMPIONSHIP:
As a fan of the Sixers, I appreciate the change in culture that has come with the change in leadership. Like many other fans, the constant cycle of making the playoffs and losing in the second round was no longer tolerable. The whole idea around trusting the process was to avoid just that. Hopefully, the changes will allow us to break the cycle.
