No. just no.

For every historical period has its flavor, and it shows throughout the archaeology and art.

What is this? If this is what leadership looks like now in corporate America we are so screwed.

I believe artist can translate via material, the essence of humanity and create something beautiful using their mind. Thank you for that amazing video. ♥

Like all good TED Talks, this gave me pause and several things to think about. Will have to watch a few more times.

Some initial thoughts: I have faced the conundrum of feeling the temptation to “ape” traditional demonstrations of authority and leadership in order to be persuasive and effective. As a member of the “traditional power holder” gender and race, the temptation is always there. But that is not the leader I wanted to be.

There are elements of that traditional leadership model that I aspire to (protect your team and be the one that suffers the most when things are hard) but there are also elements that are missing from that traditional model that I think should be there. And they are part of the type of leader I try to be, such as having a nurturing spirit.

A good leader has a clear vision for the future and can effectively communicate it to their team.

Remember when TED Talks were more than woke Trojan horses? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[emmanuela.anderson]

Simple but powerful presentation. And the question? It has the power to bring us closer to realizing our dreams if we ask it every day...
