Where are the leaders?
I was reading the book Leaders by Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus and it occurred to me. Where have all the leaders gone?
It seems that all of the great leaders I can think of are no longer with us. There are some people in the world who exhibit that sort of quality, but there are few who provide the kind of inspiration that a JFK, Churchill, Gandhi, or Martin Luther King might invoke. There are precious few company CEOs that I might include on that list as well.
Are we just devoid of leadership, or am I expecting too much? Can anyone suggest a leader that inspires people on that scale? I think that the world is in need of leadership - not politics or management - but vision and and the ability to unite us in a common goal, for a common good.
I had difficulty naming even a few real leaders. Give it a try.
