The Captain and the King, by Peggy Noonan, Wall Street Journal, January 7, 2011

At a time of new beginnings in Washington, and as a new year starts, some thoughts on leadership that begin with two questions. First, why is it a good thing that the captain of the USS Enterprise was this week relieved of his duties? Second, why is the movie “The King’s Speech” so popular and admired? The questions are united by a theme. It is that no one knows how to act anymore, and people miss people who knew how to act.
Thank you, Peggy. Let’s hope they read this!
