In this podcast I discuss what I believe true "Teamwork" should look like vs. the typical L.P. Good Ole Boy System way of operations and thought.
Is there a place for real tactful, logical, respectful critiques and constructive criticisms? Why does it not seem to be "a thing" that's accepted and appreciated by most of our elected officials? Shouldn't it be seen by them as valuable to their growth if they aspire to grow and get better?
In the context of this podcast, what's more beneficial for Livingston Parish if the ultimate goal is to advance and get better? A or B?
A. All fluff and praises about those in power.
B. Make an effort to provide more of a balance by bringing challenges and critiques to our elected officials? And bringing awareness to the people.
Considering my aspirations, what was an easier path for me to take with this podcast? The hard path of providing challenges and critiques to those in power? Or taking easy the path and trying to stroke the egos of those who are in power for future favors and endorsements that my benefit me? I could have taken the easy path, but I would have been being fake to who I really am and fake to you.
I had the choice make. I could have taken the path of what the 99% would have taken. But I felt and still feel like the hard path was the better and right path to take even though there is a price to be paid.
I'm NOT on the team of the good ole boy system. It's the system that I hate, not the people inside the system. It's the mediocrity of the system that the system creates that I am against.
My desire is for Livingston Parish to get better and for us create a culture, a mentality of valuing each others opinions and critiques no matter what.
