Mascot

Some leader you are, Shiva!

You should be inspiring us! Giving us a vision! Didn’t you learn anything on the management training courses?

You should be a mascot, not a leader, Shiva! How are you going to stand up to the Organisational Managers in your various meetings? How are you going to advance the philosophical cause? Make a case for us? Voice our objections to pretty much everything?

And yet Cicero made you our leader. She must have know what she was doing. She must have had some plan. She had a special love for you, Shiva – we could all see that. You were, like, her chosen successor. Selected for special attention. As the chosen one. As the future leader. To whom everything was going to be entrusted.
