Bosses We Need To Be More Intentional About Our Citizenry And 90 Minutes A Month, Will Get It Done.

As citizens, we must take responsibility for not managing the people we hire- elect to lead us. What manager hires an employee and does not train them? We the citizens of America do, this every year and our elected- hires count on it. We give people, we do not know and have not researched their past work history, and how they have voted and worked on behalf of their constituency. Many fail us and the others walk a thin line of voting with their council members or their constituency and that should never be an issue, concern or a problem.

Your participation is required in holding our elected hires responsible for their actions the good and especially the bad. We can absolutely fire them, never mind that it may take up to four years. We will have to begin mentoring our future leaders now. Since public schools lack a vigorous civic education curriculum purposely, we will not teach each other.

90 Minutes A Month, is how we do it. Let’s try a Social Experiment… By investing 90 Minutes A Month into participating in a city council meeting or a local community meeting. How about spending 45 minutes at each meeting, online. Also, you can send an email to all of your leaders monthly. Below are three links you can check out to reach your elected hires. We always want to keep in contact with them go ahead and save into your contacts. The outcome would be to create effective partnerships with our representatives to achieve the best for you and the other people they represent, fairly.

Here are the contacts for the Atlanta City Council, Georgia House of Representatives and Senate.

• By investing 90 minutes a month into contacting your elected hires and telling them what your community, city, state and country wants, or by attending a city council meeting.
• “Empower yourself – spend just 90 minutes a month to manage your elected officials!”We can change the social and political trajectory of the country.
• Do you know that you are the BOSS of your elected hires and as citizen’s we must tell them what we want?
• Campaign season is actually the time for citizens to do our “Due Diligence” and research the people asking for our vote. Let’s do this, for sure.

Our Kick Off Date is Saturday, May 20th, Take 45 minutes on Malcolm X Birthday to Boss Up and manage your elected hires. Please Follow Up and tell us how you manage your elected hires or share other community advocacy information.

Bosses Are You Checking On Your Communities And Leaders?

Neighbors, what’s going on in your neighborhoods, city, state, and government? Are you communicating with and telling your leaders what you want? Well, that is your job if you are not managing your elected hires then you are not doing your job as CITIZEN. Why would you hire someone and not manage them? Atlanta’s leaders have been working hard to dismantle Maynard Jackson’s Neighborhood Planning Units for over 20 years. NPUs give residents power and community wealth.

The original NPU Profile and Plan, for Black Community Wealth, https://radar.auctr.edu/islandora/object/auc.109%3A0011.

The first published NPU Plan for Atlanta was published by Former mayor, Maynard H. Jackson.

The selfish, careless, and typically unqualified leaders are spending their time attempting to dissolve NPUs while we pay them a handsome salary to do so. The problem is ours the citizens, we hire – elect candidates and then we do not reach out and tell them what we want. What manager hires an employee and does not train and manage them? Let’s be better managers of the people we hire – elect to represent and lead us. Good leaders know their constituencies and work alongside them to create change. If your leaders do not plan and implement with you they are not doing their job and you should replace them, asap with someone who will.

Check on your community, find out what’s going on, and what community planning is taking place, and participate, volunteer, and attend city council meetings in person or online or play a recent recording of a meeting. It only takes 90 Minutes A Month to check on your leaders to see that they are working on your behalf and see what you can do to move the needle forward. To find your local, state, and government representatives, Google https://myreps.datamade.us/ and reach out to them, with your concerns and wants for your community, city, state, and country it is your right and responsibility as a citizen and as a BOSS.
