In The Cult of the Leader, Christopher Bones argues that the cult that now surrounds leadership and leader development is dangerous, not just for business but for all of society. According to Bones, modern leaders are typically egoistic, surrounded by people created in their own image, unaware of their faults and biases, and driven mostly by the need to boost their self-image. Society has wrongly lionized CEOs. Instead of ranking how companies perform, society focuses on the CEOs as if those leaders are the defining differentiators without which the company would soon fail. Bones explores how society found itself at this crisis of confidence in its leaders and suggests what can be done to transform the public’s perception of leaders in today’s organizations.

Taken the same day as this.
I've never told anyone the real reasons why I've never fully come to love myself. It's hard and challenging to feel like your own body holds you back. From everything.
I haven't had the time or patience for a self portiat today or yesterday, hence this picture.
Some days a can sort of feel beauty coming through me, and other days, it's the biggest lie in the world.
each ray
like chords of a song
staggers in blindness
but escaping my grasp...
grinds to despare
my spirit's reprise
squelching... love's song
