Systematic failure of nerve

Submitted by nolan on 16 July, 2010 - 16:51

Therapist and author Edwin H Friedman wrote a book about the kind of poor leadership that is rampant today called "A Failure of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix." (It is an excellent book, and I can lend it to interested Svijet zaposlenih members.) He explores the important concept of differentiation - the ability to stand outside of the web of anxiety that defines most systems and speak truthfully. The boy who said the emperor had no clothes was highly differentiated, for example.

I was reminded of Friedman's ideas when I came across the following quote in an article about the state of Croatia's ecomomy:

"Mnogi od njih će odmah ispaliti nekoliko ideja kako smanjiti državne troškove, ali niti jedan nije spreman govoriti pod svojim imenom jer i oni također žive od proračuna ili su vezani uz političke stranke, pa ne žele nuditi nepopularna rješenja."

Missouri State Senator Matt Bartle, in Croatia for a series of talks to university students on the topic of success, shared his experience as a businessman, lawyer, and politician. He and his wife Annette shared about their professional and personal lives.

About 20 of us enjoyed a warm conversation on topics such as professional networking, job change decisions, and financial integrity.

Some interesting quotes from his remarks:
"Now is a very exciting time to be alive. Don't listen to the media telling you that all the news is bad."
"In Christ we have great hope for the future."
"This world is starving for encouragement."
"Starting my business was an exciting time because it was so scary. People who have a safety net below them sometimes are too afraid to make a big move."
