Fighting Fear with Facts: Change Management is Never Easy!

November 25, 2012 · by · in Barack Obama, HOPEFUL LEADERSHIP, Laughing about Leadership, Mitt Romney, Sustainable Leadership · Leave a comment

We’re scared lately — of global warming, of terrorism, of changes in health care, of potential tax hikes in the face of the looming budget deadline. Many leaders are fighting our public anxiety with facts, and it’s ironic and a little frustrating how ineffective facts are in the face of fear. Repeating verifiable facts hasn’t […]

Black Friday, Zombie Deals and the Economic Burden on American Followership

November 24, 2012 · by · in Creative Followership, Joss Whedon, Laughing about Leadership, Mitt Romney · 2 Comments

Zombie hordes figured prominently in the 2012 US election hoo-ha. We had the general Halloween zombie cartoons about brainless followers of the wrong candidate. (Republican or Democrat, everyone was slapped with that accusation at some point!) And Joss Whedon’s brilliant celebration of Romney’s vision to create Zombie Apocalypse made “Zomney” a catch word of the […]

Republican leadership at a crossroads: confrontation or collaboration?

November 9, 2012 · by · in Barack Obama, Healing Leadership, Mitt Romney, Sustainable Leadership · Leave a comment

A Republican Party Divided On Thursday, Peter Wallsten of the Washington Post commented: “President Obama’s decisive victory over Mitt Romney served as a clinic in the 21st century politics.” Citing diversity of voters as the source of Democratic dominance, Wallstein describes “little consensus on how to regroup,” with party members divided between greater conservatism and […]

Obama’s Re-Election: Leading a Divided Nation

November 8, 2012 · by · in Authentic Leadership, Barack Obama, Business Leadership, Healing Leadership, Mitt Romney, Sustainable Leadership · 5 Comments

Now is the time for authentic leadership. The great irony of our current situation is that we are facing both a cliff and a standoff. Obama has won the election, through the system of the electoral college, despite the equally divided popular election. The states prevailed, ironically, over the candidate whose party argues for increased […]

REBLOGGED FROM TIKKUN DAILY: Romney: “The war that’s coming to kill all the Jews – our church believes that.” by: David Harris-Gershon on November 3rd, 2012 Mitt Romney’s end-times theological beliefs have largely remained in the shadows during this election.

Be a Leader, Not a Zombie: Zombie Candidates and Voters after All Hallows Eve…

November 1, 2012 · by · in Barack Obama, Creative Followership, Laughing about Leadership, Mitt Romney, Sustainable Leadership · Leave a comment

News from the Zombies As you can see, there have been a lot of images about zombie candidates, not just for Romney, kind of a seasonal meme (viral concept). The main theme seems to be that the followers of the undead candidates are brainless. And in fact none of us are brain dead, although as […]

Zombie Romney: Joss Whedon reveals the real reason behind Romnesia

October 31, 2012 · by · in Art and Leadership, Creative Followership, Joss Whedon, Mitt Romney, Popular Culture · 1 Comment

Viral “Zomney” Satirical Video on YouTube At its best, artist leadership is equal parts entertainment and cogent argument. Writer, producer, director Joss Whedon combines them both to comic and gut-punching effect in his viral Oct. 29 video, Whedon on Romney. It’s all over the blogosphere, the newspapers, twitter, email — not just because it’s funny, but […]

Business Leadership

October 28, 2012 · by · in Business Leadership, Laughing about Leadership, Mitt Romney, Sustainable Leadership · 3 Comments

I keep hearing from Romney supporters that a businessman should run the government…. But that’s kind of like saying, “I need a doctor to heal me.” We wouldn’t let any doctor work with our aching body — we have criteria for choosing a doctor in our network, including their specialty, empathy and availability. I just […]

Leaders who serve by telling their stories: the authenticity of witness

October 26, 2012 · by · in Authentic Leadership, Ellen Degeneres, HOPEFUL LEADERSHIP, Malala Yousafzai, Mitt Romney · 8 Comments

Authenticity has many faces… Leadership researchers talk a lot about personal authenticity based in values, and the ways those values show by what we do and how we lead, not just what we say. Although I’ve raised a red flag about using biography as authenticity in presidential campaign spin, there’s another way to look at […]

Leading with Lies: Romney Marketing Debate Misstatements as Positive Policy

October 25, 2012 · by · in Authentic Leadership, Barack Obama, Mitt Romney · Leave a comment

The key misstatements Romney is turning into campaign criticisms: Today, Glen Kessler of the Washington Post, tracks campaign ads that reproduced Romney’s debate misstatements. He writes: “When readers ask whether we get annoyed that politicians often ignore fact-checking criticism, our answer is always the same: We write for voters, not politicians. Politicians are not going […]
