There are certain strategies people in power or those responsible for the well-being of others employ. These strategies are echoed in every sphere of society as they simply make it way easier for us to perform our duties as elected or assumed leaders.
One of the most important duties we have is to reassure those to whom we are responsible and preserve the aura of hope. In doing so, we often employ the strategy of putting on a brave face; acting as though everything is under control when really the opposite is true.
