A new vision of leadership (19 Dec 2011)
Good leaders are thin on the ground. Many people in positions of leadership can barely be called epitomes of good leadership: examples are Bishop Léonard, Silvio Berlusconi, or the Belgian politicians who needed nearly two years to come up with a budget and government. Other recent events such as the uprisings against the established leaders in the Arabic states, the nuclear disaster in Japan and the financial disaster in Greece also raise questions. The world clearly needs leaders who see the current financial, political and environmental crises from a different angle; leaders who offer solutions that transcend average leadership.
