Painting Actuality

Listen to "Painting Actuality" on Spreaker. It's way too easy to use a sentence that asks, "Where are the natural born leaders?" Too easy because those who presently lead feel they own that position and nobody does it better. I agree while disagreeing. Positions of leadership once came with ample amounts of experience. Look beyond the posts sent out by Indeed, Lensa, Monster and Zip Recruiter. The picture painted is an acre of opportunity but only if you can live up to the page in a half of this meeting that. By the way no human eyes will see your resume and cover letter. Computers are looking for keywords and well structured sentences. The best of the best aren't getting the jobs. It's not about that anymore. It's about surviving in a world of less. This isn't negative. This is the stuff natural born leaders need to share with their present staff about future growth. Major Dan Miller and Rick Jackson were two of the greatest people in places of decision making not because they brought in the biggest and best dollars to the company but their voices never left employees stranded. They truly respected the open door policy and kept each in attendance attached to future potentials and not secretive ambitions geared by their person struggles. I openly admit that I set aside my experiences to be what I assumed would be quality leadership. Rather than taking the chisel out to shape the stone, I nurtured the process of progress believing that artists and creative people don't want to be told what to do but rather shown how to do. In most situations that works. Until you realize that natural born leaders have to be statue makers and not always counseling the inexperienced. Thoughts become plans. Plans evolve into action. Productivity takes on the image of connection. Success arrives from focused energy delivered on time or before. Communication isn't yelling or being better than. And none of it is worth its weight on Indeed, Lensa, Monster and Zip Recruiter. The world has become an open field of fruits and veggies with no farmer to weed the garden. Carrots will grow anywhere but can they survive the first blast of summer heat? It's ok if they fail. We'll use Indeed, Lensa, Monster and Zip Recruiter to buy more seeds while ignoring the rules of true farming.
