Thanks John for the extra nudge to read these books.

I'm continuing to reflect on my stories and the non-leaders responses to me. I mentioned briefly that I was also disappointed in the people who prepped them. I used to pummel the leaders I served with real questions employees would ask. It occurs to me that those prepping the leaders in my story were out of touch AND/OR it was an "emperor has no clothes" situation. "Handlers" know the emperor doesn't want to hear it so they quit bringing up the important issues. In fact I know that was true in one of the stories I shared because I called that "handler" 5 times in the weeks before that leader's talk asking her if he was aware of what he was talking into. She said yes. I knew she was lying.

More parallels to your connection to the current political arena.
