Leaders Know Who They Are

“Ya gots to remember who you are,” says Miss Essie, a character in my one-act play. “so you don’t get confused when some fool tries to tell you who you are.” I love Miss Essie. She is everything I want to be when I grow up. She has seen it all, smiled and offered her blessings. She is undisturbed by chaos, trouble and contention, because she remembers who she is. Miss Essie has never worked in a large corporation but she understands the importance of identity.
