I Don’t Care: A Rant To The ‘Perfect’ Empowerment Leader.
There is a lack of true heartfelt excitement: a forced 'coolness' to their voice and actions. When someone gushes to them that they have the same name, same spelling and everything, this type of leader looks away and rolls her eyes, sits in the corner talking to only a sacred few. This type of ...
