This Little Light

" When the moon is not full, the stars shine more brightly." - Uganda

Much has been written about leadership. Many support a take charge approach where the main focus is creating opinionless followers who are so committed that they overwork for limited pay. But for many of these followers, the focus is to be recognized and appreciated for their contributions, so that they can realize their self-interests. Leaders are the "moons" that can choose to either flood the organization with their brilliance, or lower the wattage, so that other lights can be recognized. No moon is full all the time, unless it stands still, and refuses to grow or change. No moon divorces itself from different perspectives, or fails to show its craters. The stars are little moons, and appreciate the model that moons can offer, but know that their own brilliance can help to light the sky. What more can we learn from the moon and stars? In what ways do we shine each day? This little light of mine...I'm gonna' let it shine!
