[I looked for a Leadership quote but there were too many good ones to choose from so here is a link if you’re interested in perusing them yourself]
I’m writing this on May 17, 2022, Election Day, so my thoughts are very much on the importance of this singular event which continues to happen with such regularity in this amazing country. Our flag is up at the curb today as my very subtle way of saying how proud I am of who we are and hopefully a bit of a reminder to drivers going by to vote.
To me, today comes down to electing leaders whose vision and passion I believe will make our state and country better. However, I understand that my beliefs may not be exactly what others may believe and that is, of course, the rub. So, here’s my point, what if we did an overlay of the 4-way test re the different candidates and made our choices accordingly? Better yet, what if one or more of the candidates were Rotarians? That would surely influence my vote because I’d know what they stand for and to what I could hold them accountable to no matter the party s/he is affiliated with. Hopefully, the best leaders will emerge in today’s voting and the winners will prove to be at least Rotarianish in all they think, say and do!
