Why do people choose to remain anonymous when they post?
Does it influence your words if you do not have to be identified?
Should people be accountable for their comments?
What do you think?

Sins Leaders Commit No.2 // Exodus 17:17-27
2. Not Setting clear Goals and Expectations V. 20
Do the words rudderless ship mean anything to you? They should. Effective performance starts with clear goals. If you don’t set goals, your people will have no direction and they will have few challenges.
As a result, men have little motivation to do anything but what is asked of them.
Goals begin with a vision of where leadership desires to be in the future.
Meet with your team to develop realistic, attainable goals that guide them in their efforts to achieve the vision of the ministry or organization.
Don’t leave your people in the dark. People want to help and be a part of the big picture. Help them to help you. By setting goals and then by working with them to achieve those goals your team will have ownership of the vision.

Geraldo vs. O'Reilly Blowup
Not particularly a Geraldo fan but on the immigration issue, he's right. If you've never seen this interview, you should.

Sins Leaders Commit // Exodus 17:17-27
Not Making the Transition from Worker to Leader. V. 18
When you’re a worker, you have a job and you do it. Although your job likely requires you to join a team or to work closely with other people, you’re ultimately responsible only for yourself.
Did you attain the goals? Did you complete assignments on time? Was your work or task done correctly?
When you become a leader, everything changes. Suddenly, you are responsible for the results of a group of people, not just for yourself. Did your team attain their goals? Are the people under your supervision highly motivated? Did your team do their work correctly?
Becoming a leader requires the development of a whole new set of skills – people skills.
Just because a person is hard working, honest and loyal doesn’t mean they will automatically make a good leader. He must make the transition from Worker to Leader.
