I think we should be very careful and very picky looking for our next leader? Why must we all buy in to Sarah now? Do you buy the first car you test drive?
Here's a sensible counter-proposal. Let's accept Sarah as an applicant for the job. Done. No more discussion needed on the subject of Sarah. She's a prospect.
NOW, let's go find two or three more, with the goal being to find someone so outstanding, we might even like them MORE than Sarah. Let's find two or three that we think could ALL do a great job, and then watch them compete with each other for our support. Aren't we supposed to stand for competition as a positive force? Then how about applying it to this task?
Makes perfect sense to me.
Good post.
