Over the last 6 weeks a lot has been learned by our
country’s citizens and leaders. The
stage was set early on with a group of government leaders who used a flawed
graph that stated 2.2 million people would die based on 100% of the population
contracting a seasonal virus whose symptoms are not much different than the
flu. As a matter of fact, the CDC just
came out with another revised statement saying there were a lot less deaths
directly related to COVID-19 than had been reported and showed the vast majority
of those who might have a slight chance of dying were elderly or had an
underlying health condition. Many of the
leaders used scare tactics and incorporated them into their political playbook
to gain power while others followed the initial flamboyant voices and made
their decision based on popular public emotion.
Much like in 1938 when only 13% of the German population
agreed with the Nazi Party, the other 87% remained silent and let these power
hungry leaders take control using fear.
Over 6 million Jews would meet their ghastly fate as the world stood by
and watched. Today, the majority of
Americans have hid inside their houses allowing the government to destroy over
30 million lives since the middle of March sending the unemployment rate to its
highest since the Great Depression of 1929.
The 87% of Germans who remained silent based on fear of perceived
popular opinion may not have pulled the trigger or released the gas, but they
were still complicit as they allowed Hitler and his party to lead the country
to destruction. A widespread defense in
modern day about if the hype around the Coronavirus being a hoax is that the
information by mainstream media, CDC, WHO, our Local Politicians and those that
worked on the frontlines was false.
However, there were a minority that kept asking questions, even being
ridiculed by their peers, and utilizing research to show the numbers never and
would never add up. They were ostracized
for using logic and accused of being insensitive about those that might die. This was even after they pointed out that
there was never a plan to prevent mortality due to the virus, but only to allow
hospitals to prepare for an uptick in those that might become sick. The narrative has now changed to the
prevention of all death from the coronavirus, which sounds just as farfetched
as writing this sentence. One thing is
for certain, we will all die from something.
Those that are scared of this virus should be scared of pneumonia, flu,
heart disease, cancer, common cold and even driving their vehicle. Those deaths have claimed millions more than
COVID-19 over the years. Because of
fear, our country is now on the brink of The 2nd Great Depression
and will suffer at a greater rate than the initial deaths we were trying to
prevent in the first place.
A leader leads. A
follower follows. The difference between a leader and a follower is the willingness to be
wrong. When you're a follower, you
ask the leader what to do. There's
nothing wrong with being a follower--the world needs them as much as leaders. However, if you are a follower—be sure you
know who you are following!
History has given us great leaders and leaders who took
their followers down a path of destruction.
George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are considered great leaders while
Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini and Saddam Hussein have been
etched in the annals of the past as an example of leadership by fear that has
failed its people.
The best leaders have emotional intelligence; they may feel
things deeply but they're emotionally strong and stay in charge of their
feelings. Followers are more reactive with their emotions, while leaders are
more responsive. Successful leaders have
strong convictions and are bold in their beliefs, while followers are less
committed to ideals. Followers get out of the storm while leaders stand strong
against it. Leaders may be headstrong
and determined, but they also know when to be flexible and agile. Followers are
more inclined to stay on the set course come what may. By nature, followers are more cautious than
bold. Leaders combine big dreams and action; they leap into situations where
both the payoff and the risk are substantial. Followers watch and take notes;
they move more slowly. Leaders tend to
be decisive, opinionated and self-assured. Followers are more likely to see
limits in their abilities and put more faith in the judgments of others. Leaders like to have a definitive plan and a
blueprint for getting results--a bridge between goals and accomplishment. Followers
like to have clear instructions that allow them to focus more on their
individual corner of big picture. Leaders
are almost always characterized by a clear vision for the future and sharing
that vision with others. Followers either focus on the moment or sign on to a
leader's vision.
Business leaders can use the current chaos to help them make
decision as they try to survive, rebuild and ultimately thrive in this chaotic
economic landscape. Leaders will need to
make sure their business is able to reach, communicate and provide goods and
services using today’s technology. This
includes marketing, advertising, e-commerce and informing your customers and
potential customers in the digital arena.
Using technology will allow leaders
to build a strong following.
Digital Advertising is less expensive than traditional
advertisement, but it has to be done right.
Every site has to be optimized and a complete understanding of each

informational blogs and educational videos that show you are an expert in your
