My, things have changed
Last night I watched the movie “Milk” about the first openly gay elected official in the US. A few months ago I watched “Remember the Titans” about a newly integrated football team in the early days of integration.
Both are thought provoking as they show how these situations were met with violence and bigotry. This is not ancient history. I remember Anita Bryant crusading against gays.
Let’s keep this from getting political, moral, religous, etc, etc, etc.
What I would like to point out is that we still harbor biases against people. Maybe not blacks or gays but what about the guy in the next cubicle who doesn’t (fill in the blank) or does (fill in the blank). What prejudices do you carry and how does that impact your life and the people around you?
Considering how much our society has changed in a generation, would your way of thinking appear antiquated 20 years from now?
Just curious.
" ...it was one of the most dynamic and interesting talks I have ever witnessed on general leadership and effective management. I thought it was very interesting to see how you approached the topic from the bottom up -- from the grunt's perspective. This made the topic very easy for me to relate to and gave me ideas on how to develop the leaders I am responsible for."
