Books on leadership say that a leader sets the guardrails of the culture, through words and actions. Recent leaders have have normalized racism and violence. I wish that we can restore a culture of respect for each and all.
- proc0 3y agoThat doesn't sound right. It seems culture determines how people choose their leaders. When the culture changes, different people rise to power, not the other way around. At least for democratically elected leaders.
- k310 3y agoThe books were business books, so the context is business, where boards and committees choose leaders, and books also delve into that process. It's the opposite of democracy. I think the matter of guardrails always applies in business and politics. Ponzi schemes, “mark-to-market accounting" (Enron) or calls for violence and racism bust reasonable norms. And that's the aspect of culture that I am addressing.
