AMERICAN CHARACTER

Our democracy is under institutional deconstruction and severe attack by an entertaining autocrat because the Republican Party and Republican political leaders have abdicated democracy’s gate keeping responsibility! As the 2020 Presidential Election unfolds it feels necessary to outline an image of the American “character” we are working to evolve. The desired result: to facilitate voting for a political leader who can lead our democratic Nation. Here is a “character” perspective…
WE HAVE A CLEAR, EASILY UNDERSTOOD VISION, CORE VALUES and BELIEFS, PURPOSE, MISSION and DESTINY.
WE ARE ETHICAL and MORAL and UNDERSTAND, BELIEVE IN and MODEL THE WAY OF STATED CORE VALUES and GUIDING PRINCIPLES.
WE HAVE PROACTIVE, EXTENSIVE SYSTEMS, INSTITUTIONS and COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS THAT LINK US ALL TOGETHER and CONNECT US THROUGH NEW WAYS OF EXCHANGING INFORMATION.

• We are committed to physical health, emotional balance, mental clarity and spiritual awakening.
• We have political parties and political leaders who are our democracy’s gatekeepers.
• We have free education that develops skills to address complex issues facing an evolving world.
• We have legal institutions, media and immigration processes that are respected.
• We have an infrastructure that satisfies current and evolving needs.
• We have an affordable healthcare system that is the “best of the best.”
• We have a simple tax system, balanced budgets and an economy that is thriving.
• We have a military and space force that are well-trained and ready.
• We have processes, practices, policies, artificial intelligence and technology that are innovative and provide the means to evolve, grow and develop in a changing, complex world.

WE HAVE EMPOWERED PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SKILLS, TALENTS, KNOWLEDGE and ABILITIES TO EVOLVE AMERICA FOR GENERATIONS TO FOLLOW.

• We have opportunities for continuing development and honor the human need to be respected, contribute and be recognized for accomplishments.

WE HAVE INNOVATIVE LEADERSHIP and LEADERS WHO MODEL THE WAY and ARE COMMITTED TO A BRAND OF LEADERSHIP THAT IS EARNED and TRUST BASED, TRANSCENDS and INCLUDES and UNIFIES.

• We have leaders who exemplify executive maturity, are mission driven, are “in-tune” with human needs satisfaction, model the way of integral life practice, are good communicators, build quality relationships, understand organizational development, staffing and team leadership, have business and financial savvy, can handle complexity and thrive on new, innovative ideas.
