Comments on: What leadership looks like http://thormuller.com/netpositive/2007/05/20/what-leadership-looks-like/ In defense of irrational exuberance Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:18:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Drew McManus http://thormuller.com/netpositive/2007/05/20/what-leadership-looks-like/#comment-475 Drew McManus Tue, 22 May 2007 15:57:43 +0000 http://thormuller.com/netpositive/2007/05/20/what-leadership-looks-like/#comment-475 I've been watching the Gore news lately with great interest. I think he has done a remarkable job of changing his image and becoming very focused on a single issue. This has served to bring clarity, focus, passion, and vision to be words much more associated with his brand. There is a great article in the current TIME magazine about Gore, as well as an excerpt from his new book, which looks like a must-read. I like what he is saying about the lack of reasoned discourse in today's political arena. I could not agree more. He was interviewed on the Today show or GMA or something the other day (I'm not sure which--it was on my TiVo suggestions), and I felt like the interview became a classic piece of evidence for this argument that TV News is part of the problem. He must've walked out of there wondering whether this is the wrong (or absolute right) way to promote his book. Will he run? I really do not know. I appreciate his position on holding off, but I think he may try the patience of a country desperate to start visualizing a new leader. I’ve been watching the Gore news lately with great interest.
