Boss Lady U

I am sharing a post that I penned for my personal page, my feeling is that is may resonate with the Boss Ladies in the group who are committed to being great and effective leaders ---- Something that many of my social media friends and connects are not aware of is that in addition to the legal thing that I do as a professional I have a background in global leadership. I am working on a publication about the state of the current leadership paradigm or more aptly put conundru...m. Not to get too heady but the traditional mode of communication is transactional and one of management. In other words, we are traditionally taught to model by example. We looked to our elders to guide us, lead us, train us. However, as we become the elders we have to be clued into the realization that the paradigm of leadership has shifted. We now have to practice transformational leadership because there is some difficulty in identifying who are leaders actually are (but that is another issue). Leaders must be the keepers of the vision; Proverbs 29:18 (where there is no vision, the people perish). Here in lies part of the problems, as de facto leaders we have to grasp the vision of our future and communicate it to young folks in a way that they can understand it; not in the way think they ought to understand it. I am sharing a video from Urban Cusp that relates to the #BlackLivesMatter movement. It is a rap song and there is some cursing in it but don’t let that stop you from listening. Our young people are asking for us to communicate with them. They need for their leaders to be relevant to the current global situation. They are demanding to be part of the process. We have to give them autonomy and accountability. Our collective future is depending on us to pass the torch high enough that they can grasp it. #RiseUp http://www.urbancusp.com/2015/10/tefpoe-sayhername/ See more
