[Fellows] FW: Please post to Fellows list serve

[Brown, Nancy Benziger]

Or perhaps FAICP could offer a session on the relationship between
leadership, ethics and courage.  What are the characteristics of a
leader that is able to make an ethical decision that may be politically
unpopular and still survive and remain effective?  How does a planner
know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em?  I would argue that
developing good working relationships with elected officials while
establishing a reputation for being ethical can help shield planners
from political pressures to do something unethical.  We also all know
that not every battle is worth fighting.  

It would be great to have a Fellows website where we could provide
comments and advice on these types of issues on an ongoing - sort of a
FAQ with a dialogue.  Paul Zucker has a great newsletter with this type
of format.  It would be a different type of mentoring, but perhaps one
that could reach more folks.

Just some random thoughts, which I hope have not been overly influenced
by the record heat...

Nancy BB

I'd be interested in a session on Ethics, if one is being put
together...
