On questioning...

[ellenmillion]

This one really rang a bell with me: http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/010123.html

"...What a real leader needs is people who disagree with him. I don’t mean the needlessly contrary, the ornery and the difficult. I mean people who share his ultimate goal, but whose job and passion it is to pick holes in his plans to get there in order to improve them..."

"...I believe that those of us who question leaders, who look for failures and are only reluctantly convinced of successes, are important. We can stop a bad idea before it becomes a bad plan, a bad product, a bad policy..."

Always question. Always. If I have failed to thank you for your questions and opinions, accept my apologies.

I agree with that. I guess I am not a leader. :D

And this is why you make such a good leader, you listen to, and even request opinions and questioning, and are gracious about the whole process. And you wonder why we all look up to you? Pfft. You inspire people, whether projects boom or bust, to want to be part of what you're doing. Speaking of inspiring, are there any more articles for the e-zine I can contribute to?

This made me feel SO good. Thank you.

I've got some topic suggestions here: http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1923

And I've been meaning to add to them! *scrambles off to do so!*
