how to be a better leader

Hiding The Problem

Governments are, right now,
hiding the true impact
of Bird Flu.

I suspect they are hoping
it will go away
and they won’t have
to make tough leadership decisions.

What it is truly doing
is making the Bird Flu situation
much, MUCH worse.

They aren’t giving scientists
the data
for them to manage it,
stop it,
cure it.

Right now,
I suspect you have a problem
you’re tempted to hide.

I certainly have a problem
like that.

Hiding the problem
will likely make it worse.

Share your problem
with people or entities
that can help you
address it.

That’s the best way
to make it go away.

Yesterday, I talked about
how we all should
know the signs of failure,
watch for them,
and
then act on them.

There are millions
of points of failure.

Who has the excess time
to monitor all of them?

I certainly don’t
have this spare time.

What I do
is I monitor people
monitoring the possible points
of failure.

I’ll follow experts
on my industry
or climate change
or fascism
or business.

Every week or so,
I’ll scan their feeds.

And that usually gives me a sense
of what might happen soon.

Track the social media posts
of the people
monitoring failure.

That should keep you
adequately informed.
