I must say that I love watching real leadership. We speak of leadership often, but it’s overworked much of the time. I mean the typical leadership is “by the book”. It’s common sense and doesn’t take much guts to implement.
For example in parenting, you will protect your child. That’s “leadership” of sorts. So you try to keep your child out of harm’s way. It’s natural. Common sense.
But let’s say your child gets involved with the wrong crowd. Are you willing to confront gang leaders on their turf and tell them to leave your child alone? Or do you let things play out?
What people respect about Trump is he’s the guy who confronts the gang leader. Tells him to back off or else. And the “or else” isn’t an idle threat.
I remember having a discussion with my wife about why our sons listened to me and not to her. I said, because I only threaten once, then I act.
What have you done that’s really tested your leadership?
