He does not propose management. He excels in leadership. It is because we are good leaders that our families are alive, that we are free, that we eat well. I didn t ask Grandpa or our other elder uncles at Grandma Nai Po s kitchen table, what they thought about our school district leader laying off custodians or dropping our families Asian connectors to our schools because times are bad. I said nothing because I know what Grandpa would say about leaders punishing soldiers, for their failures, for leadership s failures to plan wisely, to allocate properly, in good times and bad.
Good leaders take responsibility for their lack of leadership.
Good leaders do not wait for their followers to tell them to give up their leadership share of extra rice, new boots, plenty more ammo.
