Popularity is temporary; change is often unpredictable; and interest rates always fluctuate. The one true constant is a person’s disposition—their character. Leadership is exercised through character; personality sets the example and is imitated by others in the organization. Leaders who possess good character are those who -- through repeated good acts -- achieve an appropriate balance of the virtues in his life. Leadership is all about one enduring quality: character.

So a question for you about this topic. How does one move beyond the barriers to speaking up? For example, I have worked in places that say they encourage workers to speak up, but in the end it's only as long as what you say matches up with their agenda. I have also worked elsewhere in situations that highly (yet indirectly) discouraged such "outspokenness". I honestly have yet to find a place in which open communication was truly encouraged. This has brought me to realize that DC is really much more conservative than "the outside world" thinks. Hi Rosetta!
