As a Transgender man, I’ve always noticed the many ways people convey their shock that I am a man before and during transition. It was just this morning that someone asked me, “You have a feminine voice, are you a girl?” and I had to “out” myself to feel affirmed.

Many “leaders” claim to empower their people. Many say they are excellent at delegating tasks to those same people. Funny thing is, their people often don’t know that. The reality is that too many people in leadership positions “dump” work they don’t like to do on their people. They give little direction about how to do the task and then, when it’s not done correctly they criticize the person they delegated the task to.

I suppose we need to begin with what the heck “judgecerning” is. Simply put it is the active use of Judgecernment. That probably doesn’t help much so let’s try that again. Many people would tell you that good judgement is the most important characteristic for anyone in a leadership position. I’d say it’s very important but likely not the most important.
