Friday, June 2, 2023: Twice a week we bring you informational, educational, inspirational, and entertaining messages. This edition showcases the following topic:
- Friday Inspiration and Fun.Leadership is a reciprocal process of motivating individuals and mobilizing resources in pursuit of goals shared by members of a group, organization, or community. As an aspect of group innovation and problem-solving behavior, leadership involves the clarification of group goals, the communication of strategies for goal achievement, the initiation of structure in interaction and expectation, and the assumption of responsibility for results. The article linked here unpacks that definition bit by bit: https://ourbetterangels.org/unpacking-our-working-definition-of-leadership

Be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last,
unless we learn how to avoid the risks.” – Stephen Hawking
We can't do anything by ourselves. Neither can you.

Abraham Lincoln is universally regarded as the most revered president in American history. Lincoln ended his first inaugural address as follows: "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
