I recently ran across a definition for managerial excellence: ‘excellent execution of an excellent strategy.’ It occurred to me that this is a good definition of leadership.
It is too bad our recent presidents have been highly deficient as leaders…
President ‘Heck of a job, Brownie’ Bush:
-poorly executed an abysmal Hurricane Katrina strategy
-neglected to develop much less execute a terrorist defense strategy prior to September 11, 2001
-ineptly executed two inadequate strategies of war for Iraq and Afghanistan
President ‘No drama’ Obama:
-modesty executed an inadequate economic stimulus strategy
-did a reasonable job executing an immoral and, most likely, unconstitutional national/international strategy of electronic surveillance
-has no obvious strategy on how to legislate/govern around the obstacle of an intransigent House of Representatives
The U.S. is a powerful nation with numerable resources and incredible… why can’t we elect leaders who are capable of leading?
