Two words related to leadership came up for me while on a walk the other evening: context and communication. Leaders need to provide context for their communities (or teams, or organizations, etc). History does just that. Leaders need to understand the past...not to repeat it...but to understand what has happened before. History informs the present and future and provides a broader understanding and bigger picture. I’ve been thinking about your post Sue.
