Leadership Based on Peace

When one reads the title to this article; immediately the thought of politics will be aroused. What will come on the minds of many who are politically inclined was Presidents Ronald Reagan’s political philosophy of peace through strength, (strength being leadership). President Reagan quite frankly was a political genius as he thoroughly understood the surrounding political dimensions of his environment and what it took to reach peace through leadership. He understood the factors of communications that imbedded the concepts of persuasion and his skills of conveying his perceptiveness about the issues before, during and after his time as he was a man of great foresight. What many critics of his time did not realize was his true drive for Peace. And, so therefore, President’s Reagan was extremely aware that in order to bring peace to the world and America his leadership style had to be conducive to meeting the ultimate goal of peace. It required boldness, courage, tenacity and intellect. He had to reach deep in his heart to find all the necessary skills of leadership such as: delegation, economic prudence, and be a world peace maker. If one closely reviews the decade of the 80’s they will quickly see a time of progress as never before. It was the technological boom, the cold war to an end without a major conflict a revitalized economy that solidified our comfort level for at least twenty years past his time.

So now one may ask what does this have to do with me; I am not a President. Well I can tell from experience as a former Assistant Dean to a Medical School, a California constitutional Gubernatorial appointee of a major State department, educational administrator and entrepreneur; I can’t tell you how many times I’ve needed to seriously utilize my leadership skills as an executive to reach for peaceful outcomes to seek the results we were seeking. Before, one can reach peace one must demonstrate the skills and the art of being a leader. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said: “In this movement we are all leaders” Dr. King was all about leadership based on peace. The movement of non-violence and peace have been premier vehicles and tools used in leadership development to seek peace.

It is rare to be in an executive position whereby one will not need to exercise leadership skills if peace is what the executive is reaching for. Executives, managers, and businesses need to interact daily in organizational behavioral matters that require a sensitive yet bold decision making.  Peace is typically at the very heart of the desired result. Because without peace there are no productive progressive outcomes and so therefore there is no leadership. Typically with leadership and peace come progressive performances.

Spike Lee on Republicans

I love the film work of Spike Lee. I like the fact he takes on controversial topics. But his politics are something else.

I am a Black Republican. I support Republican ideals. I disagree with the policies that President Obama and the Democrat-led Congress propose. Does that make me a White man stuck in the 50′s?

He may not agree with the views of the Republican Party but that does not mean he should insult all Republicans with stereotypical comments.

Just as he would be upset if he was stereotyped, or labeled as a liberal, tree-hugging, socialist, racist. I don’t think such things can be said about him or most Democrats, but niether should Republicans be blasted.

How Do Leaders Become Inspirational Speakers

Leaders in my view are not born to be inspirational speaker; one can’t say they are made either. But, rather a process of experienced transformations that creates a particular consciousness. A consciousness that has a social connection with a philosophical based that in essence, forms a deep rooted opinion. Most inspirational speakers that hold leadership positions have numerous causes that drive them toward a particular vision which they themselves aspire.

President Ronald Reagan for example held firm with his philosophy of holding the Soviet Union true to peace in the world. In his view he felt that democracy and freedom was the political world system that best described an economic environment of progress. Having met President Reagan three times in my lifetime I can personally attest to his delivery of his speeches. He was inspiring, motivating left one feeling a great sense of security and progress. He without a doubt a great communicator and communicated his message often.  President Reagan was ahead of his time and to a large extent we continue to enjoy many of the fruits of his administration. We are speaking of a man who brought the cold war to an end without firing a bullet. The eight years of his administration brought progress technologically, economically, militarily and an American way of life a certain sense of security. 

Leaders Value their theories they are convinced based on their research and/or their cause that order for people be lead they much convey a powerful message. They must be able to motivate other; they must be able to interact with a mindset inclusive of foresight. It is gut wrenching, it is heartfelt is has meaning to the very core of unbelievable proportion.

We obliviously all can’t be like Presidents or like a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. but, if one can be convinced about a certain cause and have a true sincere belief about a product, or a certain direction of a social political view then a strong sense of direction is formed.  Be clear about your message and your subject matter. Understand thoroughly your subject and know your audience. Understand as much as possible the thinking of your audience and hold true to your personal philosophy as people will always respect your commitment to a cause – whatever it is.   

As you continue to develop yourself and seek to convey your message which will have the implications of progress that will have an impact on your audience and or your clients then be prepared to be a learner as the learning process for such a skills is a journey of longevity skill development.
