Dan Brooks is not taking the safe route in presenting his plan, and for that, he gets praise from me

It always seems to amaze me how things seem to happen for no apparent reason, but of course they never do. 
 
Earlier today I came across the following  quote below, in an article about change in business.  It seems fitting to me to have found it, given the leadership race currently underway within the BC Conservative Party, and so in a post to Facebook I stated:

"It will be interesting to see the ideas presented by Dan Brooks, Rick Peterson, and any others who may decide to let their name stand"

Now here is part of the article I found, "CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO":
 
"Simply asking the question "Why?" can lead to new ideas and new innovations that can directly impact the bottom line. 
 
Organizations benefit from change that results in new ways of looking at customer needs, new ways of delivering customer service, new ways of strengthening customer interactions and new products that might attract new markets.

New employees joining an organization are especially valuable because they can often point to areas of opportunity for improvement that those who have been long involved in the company might have overlooked. But even existing employees should be encouraged to question why things are done a certain way and look for new ways to get work done faster, better and with higher levels of quality and service
."


Well it wasn't more than an hour later when I received a media update from the Dan Brooks leadership campaign.  This is what he had to say:

Dan Brooks, candidate for the leadership of the BC Conservatives, today introduced a dramatic, innovative plan to promote party unity.

"The BC Conservative Party has recorded many successes in recent years," said Brooks. "We have significantly increased our membership, and in the last election we fielded an impressive roster of candidates."

"Yet, because of internal divisions, it sometimes has been difficult to focus on our primary task - electing BC Conservatives to the Legislative Assembly."

"The leadership contest now underway gives our party a welcome opportunity to build a solid foundation for the future, and I pledge my best efforts to ensuring that in April 2014 we emerge stronger and more united than ever before."
