Hi, Mary - thanks for responding.

Knowing a little of your background and beliefs, I can tell you are going to enjoy these titles:)

Your illustrations are familiar to me, not in the details, but in the overall depiction of leaders who will not honestly and openly engage, for whatever reasons.  I think we are seeing this quite a bit in the political arena right now and into the rest of this election cycle, but it is way too common in most organizations.

Your point about a lack of response being just as much a leadership failure is a great one.    We often make decisions about what we do or do not do based on our assumptions about the results or consequences.

Interesting ... many followers keep quiet because they fear repercussions and many "leaders" are probably very relieved that they do so, because the leader is then relieved from having to dance around or ignore the issue.

Not much fun for anyone involved ...

Enjoyed your observations and looking forward to more as you dive into Chaleff's works.

John
