Leadership Laryngitis
Leadership Laryngitis is when the fire of your passion so diminishes that you stop sharing your insights with the world — you lose your voice.Not your speaking voice, the voice that made you an individual. The voice that shouted out against the way everyone else was doing things, the voice that proclaimed there was a better way and shouted “follow me!” to anyone willing to take the leap with you.
Leadership Laryngitis can be caused by raging so hard against the machine that you’ve screamed yourself hoarse and your throat is raw from the effort. You think no one is listening and that your cries are falling on deaf ears.
You decide to shut-up and begin to put-up with all the daily bullshit against which you originally railed.
Instead of letting your shouts be silenced, why not whisper?
Sometimes the people shouting get the rap for being madmen and unreasonable.
Sometimes the roar of revolution sounds like a whisper.
