Gov. Bruce Rauner is moving across the state attacking anyone who doesn’t agree with his agenda. Is this true leadership; can Illinois afford this type of iron fist mentality?
There have been many great leaders in our history who have changed how government is operated, but they have done it with true leadership. A true leader gets parties together, discussing the differences and finds real solutions that everyone can live with. Having the mentality in decision making that the only reason to do something is because I said so, generally doesn’t work with adults.
The facts are: government is NOT a business and can’t be run like one. Government is not a hedge fund or a pizza joint, government doesn’t operate on profits, and it doesn’t have a CEO. Government is for ALL people, it’s here to serve the greater good and to keep the playing field fair for everyone.
Recently, Gov. Rauner has bashed many of our local politicians because they don’t agree with his Turnaround Agenda; is this a true sign of leadership.
A true leader knows how to agree to disagree in times when real change is needed. A leader is a person who can let his own ideas go when progress is needed. Every day this state doesn’t have a budget, is taking years away from our futures.
I pick on our governor not because I’m a Democrat, but because he is in a position of leadership, he is our leader, but is only acting like a boss.
