I would have to agree. It’s an interesting new perspective and honestly, I wish more leadership “gurus” would have the courage to talk about this instead of the same old phrases repeated over and over. Refreshing!

That's an interesting take on it. Resonates with the idea that to be a good manager, you need to be able to be managed. I think the challenge comes in the fact that potential followers come in all shapes and sizes and you have to decide what your cause and values are for potential followers to know if you're the right leader for them.

Dr Nia D Thomas… I did go back to the letter and quoted you to add that phrase that captures a lot of what I wanted to say. Thank you for joining the community

Dear Nia, thank you for joining the community and for your feedback. I really like the idea you mentioned that I wish I would have included in the text because it really says a lot “to be a good manager, you need to be able to be managed”
