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.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somewhat mobbish, if the mob was a bunch of silly

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

  On the inside it's uglier than most can imagine.  Scandal, cover ups, hook ups, and pick-me-ups.  No telling what kinda narcotics float around, pill to pill, shot to shot, dose to dose, a pharmaceutical disaster.  Like Elvis without any music or Chuck Berry without any moves or Bruce Lee without any kicks or Speedy Gonzales without any speed.  Just dizzy, slurring pigment obsessed drunks, sources say. What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.
