Leader Thought:
The term 'lozenge' comes from the French, meaning 'diamond-shaped'. While lozenges aim to sooth, Environmental Leadership, on the other hand, should intend to create thirst. Afterall, you can't quench your thirst (air, land, water, wildlife, climate, education, sustainability, ..) if you're not thirsty!
Take the time and make the effort to challenge current underperformance, to inspire preferred or novel approaches, and to encourage courage!
A sip or two of Tonic Water might be all you need! www.tonic-water.org
Leader Query:
Are your green leadership approaches comprised of both acute and obtuse angles, and if so, is that your preferred approach?
"To lead or not to lead... that 'tis the question."
Humor Playbook by Thickshake Spear:
A woman walks into a local shoe store..
Clerk: "Mam, I sure am sorry about all the flies in here.."
Woman: 'Well, have you tried shooing them out??'
Clerk: "Nah, they'd just come back tomorrow and complain about the tight fit..."

Keep the metaphors flowing! Reading 'who hid the cheese' reminds me of our human flaws, but also of our natural potential! Leaders can rejoice in a gamut of greener opportunities ...
I appreciate your comments about the major need for 'climate change'--we've watched the green tide come & go, and now it's time for a transformational tsunami!
Wow, thanks for creating this initial and precious flow of Enviro Leadership concepts!! We sure need it!
Hey Wano--I'd like to reserve 2 copies of Tonic Water please. Please refer to my work email address, thanks!

For those green leaders inhabiting Colorado's Western Slope, let's get together for a cup of java, and I'll provide you with a free copy of Tonic Water (you buy the coffee!).
Synopsis
Expand/Collapse Synopsis
Tonic Water is an innovative Environmental Leadership guidebook that intends to collaboratively and gregariously excavate and energize leadership capacity throughout our conservation communities. In order to significantly enhance the integrity of our natural and human environment, Tonic Water tries its hardest to inflict thirst upon the reader. By instilling unorthodox-yet-vital environmental leadership principles and possibilities into potential leadership equations, readers will progressively develop a greater green leadership desire that provokes action and reaction, percussion and repercussions, with elements of Environmental Leadership regurgitation as a positive indicator. Tonic Water concocts a smorgasbord of Environmental Leadership anecdotes and potential antidotes, challenging the reader to utilize their internal fortitude to perform self-examinations of their personal conservation conviction and commitment towards ecosystem health. Tonic Water serves as a transformational Environmental Leadership guide that challenges our current and future green leaders to immerse themselves into our ecological innards (airsheds, watersheds, foodsheds) and to devise community-specific Conservation Leadership agendas. Tonic Water is a fluid and dynamic Environmental Leadership guidebook, chock-full of exploratory conservation conundrums and environmental health prophecies. Tonic Water serves as a conservation leadership navigator, aiding current and future Environmental Leaders in exploring greener pathways while exposing common pitfalls.
