That's Not Leadership - Is It? |
I like to think that we've grown beyond the superficial image of the 1950's-the handsome white male with the strong chin, the athletic build, the piercing blue eyes. Maybe today the images are a bit fuzzier, allowing for leadership qualities in both sexes, in all races, even in unassuming short people with problem skin. Maybe. But even if most of us have moved beyond such limited ideas of leadership, we are still the prisoners of other mythologies-ideas far less visual and far more ancient, and ultimately just as debilitating. Nine years ago, I learned this truth in a profoundly personal way.
