In light of Mark Carney’s speech, republishing my deep dive on Václav Havel’s The Power of the Powerless from March 22, 2025, to inspire all of us to be brave. Please share it with your networks
This entry is one I pinned and saved last winter, when you first wrote/published it. So apropos this morning, a day after Carney’s speech and an hour or so after trump’s rant.
Even though not a single leader in that room in Davos was able to “ take down their sign” by walking out on trump today, leaving Carney, a little more alone than he should be not with standing their applause yesterday — I will still turn to you and Havel, Snyder and Shore, Albright, my dad and many others for inspiration — all to be braver than we might want to be.
