I’ve often wondered how many leaders have faced themselves with the question ‘would I choose to follow myself?‘
And I wonder how many are courageous enough to follow the seemingly untrodden path of knowing themselves. Perhaps the honesty of unprotected conversation might help.
Unprotected Conversation
‘How brazen’ they said.
‘How threatening’ they thought.
She’d talk with anyone.
With everyone.
Without caution, or regard
to who or how they were.
Or to where such
conversation might lead.
Slaying make-beliefs and
catching uneasy truths
along the way.
Such is the consequence of
unprotected conversation.
‘How irresponsible’ they said.
‘How courageous’ they thought.
