Demanding rights and what one “deserves” is a sure sign of immanent downfall. Advocating rights for others is another story—lifting the defenseless from despair. When privileged leaders demand rights for themselves: Look out! That’s a captain plowing directly into a field of icebergs.
Many a successor takes over an organization started by someone else. That new leader didn’t scrape to lift the organization from the mud. Without dirty, hard work, the organization wouldn’t exist at all. Founders don’t take their hard-earned results for granted—they don’t consider results a “right”, but a “privilege to pursue”.
