  %LEADER ACCOUNTABLE RESPONSIBLE ACKNOWLEDGE ERROR+930827
  %ADDICT COLLUSION CODEPENDENT ORGANIZATION HONEST 930827

     When  leaders  refuse  to acknowledge  their  errors,
mistakes  and  failures  they lead  their  followers  into
dishonest   collusions,    addictions  and   patterns   of
codependent  support.    Their codependent  followers  and
supporters  then cannot acknowledge the errors,   mistakes
and  failures of the leaders;  and so cannot know  in  any
meaningful  way why they are disintegrating as persons and
as communities.

     Responsible  leaders  are  responsive  to  articulate
critics and  acknowledge  their own errors,   mistakes and
failures;   and thus empower their  followers to know  and
give   meaning  to  the  insights  of  those  critics  who
articulate  what  errors and mistakes have been made,  and
thereby  wisely  point to the natural reasons  for  tragic
human failures to fulfill human potentials.

     Responsible  leaders and critics are not  preoccupied
with legalistic rules,  judgements and punishments.   They
are  interested  in acknowledging clear  articulations  of
honest  insights so that their followers may know and give
human meaning to the truth about themselves and others.

     See the previous essay for more about "knowing".
