Penn - that’s an interesting article about many facets of successful leadership, self-motivation and winning the collective.

I didn’t read the whole thing word for word but skimmed through looking for a talking point, this one little tidbit caught my eye.

d:… the whole idea is that we are at war. It is important to keep our economy going.

The fact that a Wall Street financial officer saw the need to understand the relationship between catastrophic death and destruction and the need to respond and maintain or grow the economy as an extremely important part of the recovery.

Just think if those principles had been used in the aftermath of Covid coming to our shores last year? We certainly would not be where we are today!

I was impressed by their optimism and take the moral approach to solving what must have been at the moment an overwhelming sense of urgency.

Those people could write and survive well on “Leadership” books and seminars. Yes, in the Biblical sense Isaiah 6:8 certainly applies.

ETA: to answer your question “what is the driver?” My response would simply be - purpose.
