"A poor leader is incapable of admitting that there are serious problems, refuses to cut his or her losses, and stubbornly continues in his or her doomed endeavor."

From an article about a massively doomed venture.

This struck me as directly describing active alcoholism.




Having a balance between leading and following has been a frequent theme for me recently. I have simple, easy options for healthy people and examples to follow.

Leadership qualities:

Integrity

Humor through adversities

Perseverance

Ability to shift gears

Willing to change tactics

Easily connecting with people

Self awareness

Strategic planning

Clarity



One of my counselors, my lawyer and several mentors have these qualities. My husband has these qualities when he's been in active recovery.

I think of alcoholism as the ultimate escalation of commitment. They know it’s going nowhere good, but stay the course anyway. And they demonstrate none of the leadership qualities you mentioned.

Thanks for the uplifting post, much needed today!
