Tremendous Tracey
The Follower's Signature
Election Day is the one day a year the entire country practices followership out loud. The leaders have made their case and gone quiet; tomorrow the follower holds the pen. A vote is not a leader’s act but a follower’s signature, and like any signature, it obligates you to what comes next. Thank you in advance for voting.
Voting is Tremendous: Standing Up for Values in Every Election
Missional alignment is key to building trust in any leader. The media often tries to steer us toward strong opinions, sometimes even disdain for particular candidates. But that approach is shortsighted and, quite honestly, it’s idiotic. Let’s move beyond media-driven negativity and remember the wise words of George MacDonald: “To be trusted is a higher compliment than to be loved.” In voting, we’re not looking for a candidate we’d want to hang out with on the weekend. We’re looking for leaders we can trust based on their values—not their personalities or public personas shaped by others. Knowing a leader’s true values gives us the confidence to trust them, no matter what anyone else says.
