In this video, we cover the chapter 2 of Leadership Is An Art by Max De Pree.
Maybe you have heard the phrase: “don’t bury your head in the sand.” That is another way of saying: “stop pretending something is the case when it is not.”
Many people try to avoid reality. This is dangerous. Avoiding reality is what led to World War II. The best leaders pay attention, define reality, and take necessary action.
One of the greatest examples of defining reality is Winston Churchill’s 1946 speech to Westminster College. I recommend it.
This podcast explains the historical context and the significance of the speech.
