Even when our society needs us to break the molds.
Sitting at a conference table recently, a conversation broke out about the need for more “competent” people…and from my perspective, that is the bare minimum that we should be getting, not something we should be hoping for.
Our institutions and our organizations don’t need competence, even if it is short supply…we really need leadership, vision, and guts.
Competence is fine, but it is a very low bar to set for ourselves.
