Do We Expect Too Much of Leaders?

We're all aware of the enormous challenges facing us, our countries and our world.  We are especially confronted with the troubled economy, but we also have the very real difficulties in our education system, the ecology and various world conflicts (i.e. Israel and the Palestinians).

So today's posting is not specifically about Internet Marketing Solutions.  Instead, I want to point you to Kenny Moore, a very interesting man who writes a very interesting blog.  Kenny works in the corporate world and has a lot to say about how things work (or don't work) in that environment.  He's not afraid to comment on how we really treat customers and colleagues, or to tell us the "emperor has no clothes".

Among other things, Kenny used to be a catholic priest in a monastery and he successfully survived late stage "terminal" cancer. His newest article, Letting Go of our Love Affairs with Leaders, had me nodding my head in agreement. We do need to take more personal responsibility for our happiness, life direction and purpose.  We must admit that we put leaders on pedestals only so we can knock them off.  We've got to stop expecting our leaders to be messiahs.  And we need to get back to a greater respect and appreciation for our elders and what they have to offer.  

Read the article here.  And you can see what I wrote some time ago about the quality of leadership - here.
