Leadership Gone Bad


I am going to deviate from my normal series to write about the most devastating leadership blunder in history. Today the leaders of this nation took a giant step backward in their efforts to be leaders. The Supreme Court upheld Obama care and thus begins the slide of America into the world of socialism. No longer will we be the home of the free and the brave. Here is why. 

Brave leaders take a stand for truth and justice they stand firm on the principles that made this nation great. Being a brave leader doesn’t mean selling the American citizens down the river of tax and spend. Being a brave leader means being able to make the tough choices that will help everyone and not just the select few. 

Being a leader who believes in freedom is a leader who will allow the people to have a choice, a choice to decide for ourselves if we want medical coverage or not, a choice to decide what doctor to see and when to see them. Being a leader who believes in freedom is a leader who doesn’t put constraints on freedom of choice.  

A leader who leads a nation should be a leader who speaks the voice of the people. They listen to the people and regardless of what they believe they make rational decisions based upon the framework of the nation. 

America is a far cry from the America that the founding fathers envisioned. It is not the America that I was born into. It is now an America burdened with debt, taxes and regulations that restrain the freedom of its people and hamper the progress of innovation, education and philanthropy.  

The liberal leaders are not brave they are cowards trying to oppress the people so they can gain the power to manipulate others into their socialist ideals.

Let’s take America back and bring it back to its prosperous glory days. Send a message this November by voting for true leaders. Leaders who serve the people not oppress the people.

Where Have I Been?

 The title of this article is apropos since I haven't blogged in almost 12 years. I plan to start this blog up again and try to blog on a consistent basis. I will also be broadening the topics that I write about. Be sure to subscribe so you can get notifications about when I post. So what have I been up to since that October day in 2013 when I made my last blog? Let me recap for you. When that post happened I was in the middle of my Toastmaster journey and I'm happy to say that I crossed the Toastmaster finish line by earning my DTM. I didn't continue in Toastmasters after that since I changed jobs and took my leadership skills to Mathnasium and started running a Mathnasium in Blaine MN in 2016. I got the opportunity to blend my education degree with my MBA and use it as the Director of the Mathnasium in Blaine. I also had the opportunity to be the director at one in St Louis Park and one in  Andover. I ran these until 2023 when I decided to go back into the classroom and t...

Team of Rivals

 Today I'm going to give you a book review. My favorite books to read are non-fiction books about baseball seasons, baseball players, presidents, or history. The book I'm currently reading and almost done with is "Team Of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin published in 2005. This book is 754 pages and I have 23 pages left so I think I can give you a good indication about the book. This book is really a retelling of the political career and presidency of Abraham Lincoln as told through extensive research into diaries and memoirs of those who worked closely with Lincoln. I have really enjoyed this book and the writing of Kearns. She is able to piece together all of her information about Lincoln's presidency and life during that time. She gives us up close narratives of the behind the scenes at the White House and his cabinet especially during the civil war. More often than not Presidents will give cabinet spots to friends. This book shows that Lincoln surrounded himsel...

The Audience

Any time you give a presentation it is not only the presentation that is important but the audience may be just as important. It is the audience that you are selling your idea to and presenting the information to as well. It is important to make sure you are meeting the needs of your audience. In that regard you need to understand the types of people that could make up your audience. We are looking at the concept of SOW and REAP. The SOW portion was the presentation itself and it included Substance, Ownership and WOW Factor. The REAP is the audience, starting Monday I will address what the R stands for. First lets look at the principle of sowing and reaping. The idea is that whatever you sow that you will also reap. If you plant corn you should reap corn. In our little scenario if you plant a quality presentation with great ideas you should be able to reap success. If you present a bland and boring presentation your will probably put your audience to sleep and your idea and present...
