From Chaos To Order

"There's is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things."-Nicolo Machiavelli

There's an ominous cloud hanging over Madison Co. District Six. This cloud precedes the Commissioner being forced out of office! We've constructed our determination with a sustained effort, controlled attention, and concentrated energy and dedicated our actions to an unswerving singleness of purpose, the trenchant zeal of a crusader so he and his supporters need to beware! There can be no fairness and equity in District Six as long as this man stays in office. I'm going to tear his political machine to shreds! Commissioner Robert "Bob" Harrison fits the profile of a leader in trouble: 1. Has a poor understanding of people 2. Lacks imagination 3. Passes the buck 4. Will not take a risk 5. Has no team spirit 6. Fights change 7. Feels secure and satisfied 8. Flies into rages 9. Is insecure and defensive 10. Stays inflexible. The Commissioner is not an effective leader. To be an effective leader of people authentic leaders must first discover the purpose of their leadership. If they don't they are at the mercy of their own egos and narcissistic impluses. This is the case with the current commissioner district six. Authentic leaders know the "true north" of their moral compass and are prepared to stay the course despite challenges and disappointments. He's lost! Authentic leaders are more concerned about serving others than they are about their own success or recognition. Judging Bobs actions with an extensive paper track leading back to his GREED!
