Show servants. We need leaders that lead and not follow, who have the skills to mobilize public opinion to back what needs to be done. There are already on the governmental scene some men of very great ability, working long hours under great pressure for meager financial rewards - but there are not enough of them. There are not enough of them because we have made public service unattractive to many of truly "the best and the brightest." We have put in disincentives to serve. Only some of these are financial. We won't let heroes survive. As soon as they are in office, the media seems bent on destroying them. In government or in business the best people do not work for money. They are driven by different demons in their desire to excel. They need to be compensated in currencies other than cash. Democratic government is a noble endeavor, and those who serve it well should occupy a place of special esteem in our society. Public service should be the highest calling and we need to attract to it our very best people, not just at the top but in all the thousands of posts where critical decisions are made that affect us all. Let's find ways to staff the structure with the truly "uncommon men" that are required to make this a better world for those that follow us. Casey Stengel once said: "It can't be done but sometimes that doesn't always work." We can do it if we have the will to do it. So let's get the job done. Thank you for the privilege of being with you. 11 |
