leadership


Random quote of the day:

“Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
       by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
       to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.”

—Octavia Butler, Parable of the Talents

Random quote of the day:

“We call them strongmen because that’s their goal, is to appear strong. But actually there is so much more strength in the willingness to lead a true democracy. You are strong because you can hear dissent. And it is not strong to gas people and to stand in front of a building with a bible. That’s not strength, that is a performance.”

—Sherrilyn Ifill, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, interview, CBS News, June 7, 2020
