Isn't it interesting how individuals who view themselves as leaders within tribes are quick to speak to the necessity for concepts such as accountability yet are often quick to deny their own need for inner-reflection and accountability for self? In this episode, I try to address the issue of thought leaders and how the individual worldview cannot help but impact the messages thought leaders or leaders in general impart to their audiences.

As we are coming to a place in culture where individuals are wrestling with their individual anger toward the systemic hierarchal abuses that occur within tribes, my curiosity leans toward ways individual autonomy and self-empowerment combined with self-trust can cultivate a healthier relationship between leader and community.

As humans I believe we are destined to long for hierarchy and leadership while simultaneously despising it and distrusting it. If this is where we are as a culture, then the place of growth does not derive from merely soaking in the anger, but holding a curiosity for what provokes anger about the abuse of power and what palpable solutions exist to help us as a macro system to "do better" to care for one another and promote greater opportunities for autonomy and trust toward others to "do the right thing" and establish that inner spiritual peace and wellness.

This episode is taking a micro-moment from a podcast regarding a statement made by a thought leader and further dissecting the flaws of the doctrine or the flaws of implication that can lead to macro discrimination due to singular acceptance of an idea promoted by a thought leader.

I will explore the importance of challenging thought leaders and also diving into why it is imperative human beings consider context and utilize critical thinking to explore the applicability and/or truth behind dogmas that are preached by the thought leaders and influencers of our culture.

Please join in on this discussion for an opportunity to stretch your own inner leader and critical thinking self.
