"Selecting The Right Leadership Is Crucial During Times Like These." -- Aubrey R. Taylor, Publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper |
These are indeed difficult times we're living in today. But are we in a crisis situation? The answer to this question could depend largely on who you ask. One person may say, "times are getting better." While another may say, "these are the worst times in American history." But who can we trust during times like these? You know the answer to this question...don't you? As a fellow believer you already know. So why are we so divided? Why does it seem like we're more divided today than almost anytime before in our nation's history? I'm not sure. But, we must understand that before we're Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, or Socialists we're brothers and sisters in Christ. And even if you happen to be an unbeliever, you're still an American before you're a Republican, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, or Socialist. With that said, we must begin to allow our spirits to guide us as we sort our way through this seemingly valley moment in American history. But our best days as a nation are still right out there before us; not behind us my friend. I believe if we're to step into them, we're going to have to elect the right people to serve us. Our elected officials should represent our own personal ideals and beliefs. But how do we identify the right ones? Well, I'm glad you asked that question. Back in 2008 during the election that saw us elect our first African American president, I asked Republican, Democratic and Libertarian leaders from across Texas this very question. And their statements seem to have more value today than they did back then. Texas Supreme Court Justice, Wallace B. Jefferson issued this response to my question, "The public benefits from a steady hand during times of crisis -- someone dedicated to evaluating whatever emergency is presented; conferring with all affected, and then making clear decisions together with contingency plans for unanticipated complications." To guide our nation, families, and businesses out of the place where we find ourselves today, we're going to have to do it together as Americans. Be blessed, empowered, inspired, motivated and even rejuvenated if need be; this ain't the time to get tired! Onward to 2012...And may God continue to bless America...the home of the free! |

Boyd L. Richie, Party Current Chairman of the Texas Democratic Party: Speaks to Aubrey R. Taylor about the importance of electing good leadership during times of crisis. CHAIRMAN RICHIE: "It is clear Americans and Texans are currently suffering as we face multiple crises on different fronts. Whether it is dealing with economic, healthcare, or national security issues, good leadership is necessary for our society to get through these difficult times. Level headed leadership is crucial in order to see the predicament through the end and to make certain all possible scenarios have been played out. Politicians, like our current failed Republican leaders, who shoot from the hip and continue to ignore the best interest of our citizens while protecting their special interest friends, have forgotten their job description representing their constituents. I am confident our Democratic candidates will finally return responsible and sensible leadership to our government." |

It is at times of crisis that the temptation for a leader to become a dictator grows. A great leader has followers that sincerely believe in the mission instead of being coerced to support a mission under threat." |

Qualifications and experience. e.) Good communication and organizational skills. f.) Ability to delegate." |

Adrian Garcia - Democratic Current Harris County Sheriff: Speaks to Aubrey R. Taylor about the importance of electing good leadership during times of crisis. SHERIFF GARCIA: "Good leadership is always critical not just during a crisis. However, the public and employees need to know that they have someone they can follow when they most need direction. Leadership should be visible and engaged, making the most difficult decisions. I saw this in Mayor Bill White during and after Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Ike. Effective leadership makes citizens feel protected before, during and after a critical incident. An effective leader needs to be respected and supported, and I am honored that the three main employee groups of the Sheriff's Office have endorsed my candidacy and NOT their boss." |

As a leader you sometimes have to know when to get in front of a camera and when that isn't necessary. For the most part, my work during the Hurricane focused on providing some of our local jurisdictions the state resources they needed during the aftermath because our local authorities did such a fabulous job." |

It is safe to say that every second there is someone experiencing a crisis in their life. It could be one of the thousands of children abused annually, or a senior citizen struggling to pay the light bill while facing a mountain of medical expenses. It could be one of the hundreds of thousands of people treated at the Harris County Hospital District each year. Leaders come in all shapes and forms. As a leader, my best work is to make sure other leaders in the community have the tools they need to help all these people 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. The people of Harris County are dynamic and challenges are always present. Leaders, like those on Harris County Commissioners Court, find a way to make sure the community has the tools to deal with whatever confronts the people we serve." |

That office requires a leader with strength, integrity and sound judgment. During a crisis, a leader's character is put to the ultimate test and their ability to lead must be an example for all who follow, uniting others to work for the greater good of all. A leader must be able to recognize the source of the crisis, ascertain available resources and then determine the most appropriate solution; then he or she must be strong and wise enough to efficiently and effectively implement that solution." |
