Overshot

The airline captain sits in the left seat. It means he's leader. Since he is he doesn't have to get distracted. He calls the shots, so why would he want to get sucked in to a situation that would turn his thoughts away from his goal. If he gets out of focus he can forget what he's doing or where he is. Leadership, when you're beyond the mark a couple hundred miles, goes to Hell in a handbasket at that point.

Harry Reid Leads Out as a Friend

Sen. Reid puts his arm on Nancy Pelosi's shoulder and makes like a leader. Who else would do it? You can put your arm on Madame Speaker Pelosi's shoulder if you have the slightest notion that to do it would make you stand out. You'd be set apart in a sense and that would mean you're exercising friendly STAY LOOSE LEADERSHIP. Who else but the leader-like would do it. Too bad but it seemed like Nancy moved ever-so- slightly away and then made a grimace like what is going on here.

Sex Leads

People want to talk about the sex Letterman has had. They hardly touch on the crime of extortion. It's because sex leads in the minds of the press and the public. Extortion is probably dull and sex is probably fun to talk about. The anchor people and the news broadcasters all talked about sex today with the lawyers. The Manhattan DA said the crime was extortion. Who cares--let's talk about sex. You turn on your TV and you're going to listen in on sex talk.

Boys of Spit

Watching a Rockies/Dodgers game I was reminded of this 8 year old kid who used to spit on the pavement and create big puddles of spit six inches across. I can only imagine how sentimental it must make the MLB players feel everytime they hock an oyster in a game. It could very well be that in contaminating their surroundings they are actually recapturing what they felt as little boys. The LEADERSHIP aspect of it comes in when you consider how much more the MLB Boys of Spit do it over and above the rest of the country. That's LEADERSHIP for you.

Letterman Uses Stay Loose Leadership

When Dave L. told the audience that he'd done some personal stuff he was in the LEADERSHIP van. The scum sucker trying to extort him was left in the lurch because 'you know why. Letterman told the story first. Being first is LEADING. D.L. looked quite relaxed besides and that's being Stay Loose. It's a kick-back attitude of RELAXED that can really be a powerhouse of effectiveness when you're leading.

MADONNA'S "A" TRAIN

Madonna was asked by Dave Letterman if she thinks she’ll get married again and she said that she’d rather be run over by a train. O’Riley figured for that she’s a pinhead. But hold on. You would think that to make such a decision one would be standing near a rail line when a coal train is due. A fellow bent on marriage could pop the question and Madonna could then throw herself in front of the locomotive. It’s actually LEADERSHIP that she’s showing with the luxury of choice in its solution.
But better yet STAY LOOSE LEADERSHIP would see her just saying no thanks to her suitor. What's wrong with that. Who needs a train. Leaders hardly need a train doing a hundred miles an hour to answer the proposal. MADONNA sings well but she needs at home training in how to respond brilliantly to questions.

Phony Baloney

Ontario’s Dr. E. G. Brailsford gives us his Extremely Good Basics (E.G.B.) on the subject of leadership: MOST LEADERS ARE PHONIES.

Relly Award

To implement STAY LOOSE LEADERSHIP you should give out an award. REGIS and KELLY have one and what does it do. It shows that they can give an award and be cool about it. It's no skin off their noses to give the award since they're totally relaxed and funny. Just print one and give it to people and see the happy effect. Seriously people'll go oooh and aaaah. This blog has one. It's called THE STAY LOOSE LEADERSHIP AWARD. That's palpable leadership when you can give something to someone that they can take home.

Lobos Leadership

The Lobos head football coach maybe figures good leadership means punching an assistant while the spirit moves him after a football game loss. In other words lead out with a fist before you forget about it. It's a sort of head leadership that can work against you. It's anti-lead. Mike Locksley you can truthfully say is still learning how to lead. Right now he's at the FIST(FIST IN SOMEONE'S TEETH) stage of his head football coaching education.

Kurt Warner's NFL

NFL could mean New Found Leadership that Kurt Warner discovered with four downs to go on the one yard line and he passed on the first down and it didn't work and that was the end of the first half. He used leadership since QB is tantamount to top leadership but what he found was that the leadership he newly found was plumb nuts.
