Not A Leader?




Hmmm... I decided to v/blog on this subject. One of a known leader abruptly made a declaration that she is not a leader but a follower instead. Let's take a deep look at why she said it. The timing of her statement is so essential. She's the one that brought deafhood to America and developed an American version of deafhood by trying to interpret deaf journey for us with hope that we'd all agree with her journey. And apply them into our journey. That's where she went wrong and she realized it just now. Instead of owning up her own mistakes as a leader she sidestepped and said she was only following others. Shameful. Solid leaders do not do that. Solid leaders apologize for misleading their people. This one didn't.

    Now, she's abdicating her own role, responsibility and accountability by denying her position.

    Great vlog, btw!

  2. Also, when you accept a position like co-chair in a non-profit organization DH Foundation, that's a leadership position, not a follower. This and many other examples of what makes her a leader, not a follower. Doesn't make any sense to deny that role as a leader in her own community. People sure become even more confused because of her recent denial as being a leader.
