Leadership is a Choice, Not a Position – by Margie Worrell
Posted by Kagisho in Transform Your MindSep 20th, 2009 | no responsesSeptember 26th, is Women’s Equality Day and I’m off to speak to a Federal Department here in D.C. to celebrate the occasion. The topic: “Leadership is a Choice, Not a Position.” I think leadership ties in beautifully with women’s equality, indeed with all equality. After all, the women’s equality movement began in 1848 when five otherwise ordinary women, sitting around drinking tea, decided to put a notice in the local newspaper announcing “a convention to discuss the rights of women”. It was to be held six days later in their hometown of Seneca Falls, upstate New York. Six days later they drafted a declaration stating that “we find these truths to be self evident: that all men and women are created equal.” Of the 100 people who signed that declaration, only one, nineteen year old Charlotte Woodward, lived long enough to gain the right to vote 72 years later in 1920.
