Yesterday (April 27) I had the opportunity to participate in an AWTC Salon; if you are not familiar with the Salon concept, it’s when people get together to discuss an idea or a concept. The topic was Servant Leadership and our facilitators that kicked off the conversation were Juan Sanchez, Amreetha Nagaraj, and Rhoni Rakos.

There are many takes and variations on Charles Dickens’ classic novel A Tale of Two Cities set around and during the French Revolution. It has (in my opinion) one of the best opening lines ever: “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.” This describes life at any given moment here on Planet Earth which demonstrates how insightful Dickens was about the human condition.

We’ve all seen it. Someone who presents well, is articulate, and shows enthusiasm for the organization (meaning they have participated and contributed), gets appointed or elected to the Board of Directors. Everyone has high hopes for this individual and looks forward to their tenure. Then, like the story of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” they become a completely different person than you expected. Their behavior is passive-aggressive. They are obstacles to forward movement.
