The Fail
When the rubes are a bit unclear on the concept - because the "leader" is not fully competent, and fails to explain it well.
Today's Quote
Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
-To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.
-To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.
-To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
-To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

A Step Forward
Negotiating without framing the outcome as winners and losers.
If we have an argument instead of a fist fight, that's called progress. But we've allowed our attitude to backslide into looking at the debate as a battle.

Today's Quote
Looking at life from a different perspective makes you realize that it's not the deer that's crossing the road - it's the road that's crossing the forrest.
