My summer home in the Adirondacks is at the end of a 1½ lane road along a quiet lake in the woods: there are 35 rustic “camps" out here . There are no rules or signs, but everyone waves to everyone else in a neighborly manner and, in that same spirit, everyone keeps a mask around their neck in case they meet someone walking or at the small rural Post Office. There’s every political stripe here and yet nobody questions the need and responsibility to be neighborly: nobody mistakes this kindness for a weakness. I know there’s a debate about wearing masks and whether businesses should require customers to wear masks when they reopen: they do require employees to wear them but weren’t sure how customers might react to that requirement. Interestingly, many of the Native American casinos made that a requirement for employees and customers – along with non-smoking: for the most part, their guests complied. Sometimes, leaders need to worry less about what people might think and more about what’s right (or, in this case, what’s safe). Leadership means making good decisions today.
