Adaptive Leadership

This is really profound. I especially liked this:

"Sometimes in the leadership vacuum, real leadership emerges to help move people in the correct next direction.

And sometimes in moments of destabilization, in times of trauma and fear, when there is no true adaptive leadership to help people face the loss that comes with change, the people willing to take your gold and call it god show up and claim to have all the answers—no matter how many people they hurt along the way.

We have long needed leadership that is brave and bold and that holds the pain and grief and fear that people have been feeling and helps them to see a vision of what's possible that is new, that is the change that is needed—that is not clinging to a past that will never again be."

That, to me, describes the appeal and failure of Donald Trump.
