KEY TAKEAWAYS

Visibility without purposes is vanity.

"Maybe no one is coming to rescue us from ourselves, we better rescue ourselves" - Carl Sagan.

A compass is a tool of navigation, it requires movement and skill to orient yourself to your true north.

Pendulums don't swing to the middle and stop. They've got to swing from side to side to find equilibrium.

A leadership model shouldn't have an attachment to gender or nation or skin color or religion. Leadership is on behalf of many.
