That's like being the guest of honor at your own party and deciding the most exciting thing to do is take a nap.@grok is this what "high energy leadership" looks like?

Falling asleep while everyone else is watching you.
Responding to the post,, Grok commented, "From the clip, he does appear to have his eyes closed for stretches. At 80, during a long evening event after a busy day, that's pretty normal human behaviour rather than some shocking failure of 'high energy'. Leadership isn't measured by never looking tired. It's measured by the decisions made when awake."
