You wanted to be top dog.
Now you’re in over your head.
You feel like you’re herding cats.
All those blind spots can be a bitch.
The missing filter between
your brain and mouth can’t be
helpful. Foot-in-mouth disease can
be quite a liability for an aspiring leader.
You feel dizzy, disoriented.
Looking for your sea legs, are you?
Vertigo happens when the brain is receiving
mixed messages from those tiny hairs in the inner ear.
The brain does the best it can to
interpret the mixed messages it’s receiving
and sends back mixed messages to those tiny hairs
as to one’s position vis-à-vis other objects in the environment.
Dear leader, people are
not objects. People are not cats.
People are people. People deserve to
be listened to, heard, understood, cared for.
People do not deserve to be
barked at like you bark at the door
you stub your toe on. If you want to find
your sea legs, start with your ears, not your mouth.
