As I was channel browsing yesterday, I happened to run across an episode of NOW on my local PBS station. It featured a Harvard educated man that decided to run for the mayor of a rundown steel belt town (Braddock, PA). Besides being impressed and humbled by Mr.John Fetterman, I thought he displayed all the characteristics of a true leader (IMHO).
- Having a Vision
- Committing to the Vision
- Thinking out of the box to implement vision
- Thinking objectively
Highly recommend watching the video, if you have the time 🙂
Agree 100% – very inspirational. However, despite the press and protests, I was very disheartened to read that the only Braddock hospital and largest employer shut its doors on the struggling town.
