Leadership Theory And Practice 8


Beyond their imaginations.
It is not a natural act.
Unleash the genius, reap the harvest.
A place we want to go.
Society participation.
Invisible collaborations, undocumented.
This single burst of insight does not exist.
Insight is developed, shaped, refined.
Can't avoid the work, the toil.

This is a high concept, elevated.
We dig like the tomb raiders.
Getting to the bottom, then working up.
Sparks will fly.
Through the white space, through the fog.
Call up the entire creative class.
Scientists, technologists, architects.
Professors and artists.
They operate in the same atmosphere.
Do away with the middle, carve it out.
Be an opposable mind.

The loyal are the real talented.
Surprises are all around.
We are on a speeding train, speeding fast.
Listen to the soft voices too.
This uncomfortable setting is fine.
For awhile.
Like a bowl of spaghetti.
Or a jazz ensemble, or a doubles team.
They all make music in some way.

Keep it above the waterline.
Don't sink this damn ship!
Get me to Building 20 quick.
Those old emotional states.
And new emotional states.
Edit and repeat perpetually.

Mandela led from a cell.
Many not realizing.
Pragmatic idealist.
Extraordinary, impossible, unlikely.
Intriguing and pleasant company.
Chaos is the best time for calm.
Generously, easily, selfless.
Give the credit, pay the debts.
The spotlight goes somewhere else.
Initially.
Tell the stories, change the rules.
Solve the impossible.

Red Mud Gonzo: Twenty Nine

  "No Controversy" by jpg Researching Max Purcell.  Has a Wimbledon title in doubles.  No controversy to speak of, but he's only won a third of his singles matches for his career.  Michael Mmoh's got wins against Zverev, Auger-Alassime, and Hubie.  Both 26 years of age, Purcell's won $3.5 million, Mmoh's at $2.5 million.  Not bad. "Whataburger Sucks" by jpg TTop was curious about the knife.  This dude spent 5 years in the Mojave desert, said he lost his sense of reality, said he'd defend his country again if he had to, I thought he wanted something to go down.  Told TTop the knife was for killing humans, if needed.  He wore his pistol in a holster for everyone to see.  *The double meat burger at the TX Burger in Fairfield, Texas was 5 of 5 stars.  Deep down, we all know Whataburger sucks. "1st Victim" by The Mayor Dumb ass.  Loses the element of surprise and becomes the 1st victim.  Add to it, he is carrying an oversi...

Maniacs And Friends

last night i dreamed i forgave everybody for anything ever done anytime before. there were fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers, not to mention extended family. then the people all around -- toilers, drivers, watchers, lovers, maniacs, and friends. things they did, said, implied, yelled, things they ignored, they insisted, they resisted. i was talking with each of them individually, taking my time, and we were committed. nods and shakes, aknowledgments accepted and replaced with a debt of some sort. a responsibility to forgive others in the same manner, slate picked clean and put up. minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, and generations will pass either way.
