Leadership

Leadership

       A long wiki link  (often kind of geeky) on the subject can be found at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadership

            Very few leaders are born knowing how to lead naturally. Most of us have to be taught leadership and it's techniques and various methods that suit our personalities. Of course the intent of this training is to make us more effective when leading, or at least trying to lead. And last, the teachers most know about leadership...not the theory,  but more importantly, the application of successful techniques and methods.

            Now there are still teachers such as this around these days.

            Worse case, our seemingly present cultural priorities of indoctrination vice education of our young people portends future bad things for all, including the idea of their leadership training.

            So as an example, I am today out beginning  to plow and harrow  disc a garden area for 2014 plantings.  Now that is not leadership, but it is survival oriented. Even the soil is not the best, but I have limed and fertilized it some, which is more than the modern Native Americans could do in their time around 500 years ago.

            But and also, and in my opinion, it is leadership that will help make things better in our human future on this earth. Only time will tell how it sorts out, in the end.
