When I think of models for leadership, I don’t often think of lawyers. Too much second-guessing, too much timidity, too often a lemming-like mentality and a horrible fear to do anything new or that goes against conventional wisdom. However, in these tumultuous times, I actually think lawyers have a lot to offer in terms of helping us out of this political and financial mess.
The pitiful political display in Washington over the debt ceiling debate and the subsequent downgrading by those geniuses at Standard & Poor’s and the predictable anxiety-driven stock market sell-off that followed have laid bare a lack of leadership, calm and ideas as well as an inability to compromise in our national leaders. And yes, I mean both parties.
