America Can’t Breathe…The Death of Democracy by Dr. Anitra Shelton-Quinn

As I, like so many Americans, sat in front of my television in awe of what we call "The land of the Free," my heart plummeted to my stomach at President Trump's response or lack thereof to the televised death of fellow American, George Floyd. Even more, the president's unnecessary use of military force to silence peaceful protests in order to pose for a picture in front of a burned and boarded, St. John's Episcopal church with a bible, further exacerbated the pain and outrage I experienced. Fighting back tears of anguish and utter disgust, I fear the worst... that this country as the democracy we once knew, affectionately and patriotically called, the "Sweet Land of Liberty," is dying. As overt and callous as the death of Mr. Floyd, the death of our once "United States", now screams in agony, as division takes center stage through the tyrannical leadership of President Trump. Having its origin in ancient Greece, the word democracy, comes from two words, "Demos", meaning Common People and "Kratos," which means strength (www.marketing91.com). Two concepts that are a far cry from what we now see playing on the screen of the world in which we live. Once resting on the cornerstones of freedom, assembly and speech, inclusiveness and equality, membership, consent, voting, right to life and minority rights, we now witness the horrific display of these defining foundations brutally ripped away from the metaphorical arms of our once united, now divided, nation-- like that of a crying child torn from the safety and security of his loving mother. While our current governmental leadership poses a striking resemblance many times to a tyranny, defined by Dictionary.com, as arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power, and despotic abuse of authority. Sadly, in the fight of our lives amidst the global pandemic caused by Covid19, our nation cries out to a leader that refuses to hear its pleas of brokenness, with a heart that detests compassion and perpetually engenders division. Where is our democracy? Where is our equality? Where is our liberty and justice? Is it still justice for all or just for some? Where 'oh Where is democracy now? Though painful to consider, this dialogue is warranted and of grave concern to many Americans of all races, creeds, and colors. As the words of Francis Bellamy's 1892 (Wikipedia.org), version of the Pledge of Allegiance ring ever-so-loudly beneath a bleeding star spangled banner crying, "One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all," in its' final plea, for unity, freedom, and just treatment of all mankind. On June 2, 2020, the democracy of the promised land breathed its last breath...and tyranny inhaled and breathed its first breath on U.S. soil.

Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, leadership across the globe is being put to the test. Given the challenges that the Covid-19 crisis is presenting, it is imperative to revisit & reiterate key components of effective leaders. As a leader, the first step is recognizing that your organization is in crisis. Upon doing so, it is essential to recognize and embrace the fact that the foundational structure and systems in place are likely going to have to change for the safety & well being of everyone.

Secondly, the old cliché, “never let them see you sweat “ is more important now than ever before. As an effective leader, “keeping your cool” in order to navigate your organization through this critical process is key. Remember everything, including mindsets, as well as stress related to pandemonium, flows from the top, down.

Next, creating a tripartite balance across expertise, experience and intuition is vital for decisive decision-making. While, acknowledging challenges with certainty and identifying resources within your organization, will help to support the changes needed.

Finally, communication with support and collaborative goal setting can help any leader to rise to the challenge, while fostering resiliency and fortitude within the organization.
