Woodward - Leadership Equals Greater Responsibility
Orrin Woodward recently shared some great information on his Team Orrin Woodward blog about leadership. So many people believe that leadership has great privileges but the truth is that leadership brings responsibility.
Orrin Woodward Leadership Highlights
A guiding principle that Orrin Woodward has instilled within his organization is that with greater leadership roles come greater responsibility, not more perks and special treatment. This is hard for some people in today’s society to understand. Many feel that once they reach a certain position within the a company, achieve a certain rank in the military, or in the case of many of some of our political leaders...get elected to office...that they now have special perks and privileges that allow them to roam free unchained by the laws and regulations of the common man.
Look at the Hollywood elite that seem to live above the law endlessly getting a slap on the wrist for things that the common citizen would do jail time over. Some of our politicians think they can break the law, take bribes, and operate totally independent of the judicial system with impunity. It has become so reckless on both sides of the aisle in congress that many are now saying we need a good house cleaning from top to bottom for both parties. With the recent arrests and investigations of Congressman Duke Cunningham of California and Congressman Jefferson from Louisiana we are seeing the very abuses of power in our nation’s capital that a few years ago we witnessed in some of the board rooms of major companies like Enron, Global Crossing, and Arther Anderson.
Americans have become disenfranchised with their leaders and heroes because of this behavior.
