Poverty is like everything else. In the end it becomes bearable. It acquires a pattern and comes to terms with itself. One vegetates — that is to say, continues to exist in a wretched sort of way that is just sufficient to sustain life.<\/em><\/p>Victor Hugo, Les Mis\u00e9rables 1<\/a><\/sup><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This paragraph leapt off the page when I read it. What a vivid description of the way life becomes when there is no vision<\/strong> for anything different than what is and when people settle<\/strong> for what they are already getting! Why should such a sad state be accepted as normal and something to be endured indefinitely? Why should anyone fall into a rut<\/strong> and be content to stay there? Leaders<\/strong> need to know how it is that they could fall into a rut, and if they find themselves in one, how to get out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaders must not fall into a rut and lead in a wretched sort of way that is just sufficient to sustain organizational life!<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
