True Leadership

What is true leadership? True leadership is being there, reaching out, and interacting with the people you lead. Making firm statements on the Gallaudet University website and staying out of sight is not true leadership. Regardless of whether she resigns or not, Jane Fernandes needs to go out there and actually talk to the students, faculty, staff, and alumni that she is supposed to be serving. In fact, I am beginning to think that may be the only way to end this crisis. Fernandes will have to begin acting like a true leader.

I have said this before and it bears repeating: no government can survive without the support of the people.
