One Apple A Day #838 - Leadership
Leadership; probably the queen of all buzzwords.
There is so much literature around leadership; thousands of books, research, articles, talks and so on. If you want to be a leader and develop this strength, you are spoilt for choice.
Yet, you know what? Despite all this knowledge available on leadership, I feel a lack of leaders in the world right now.
Where are they?
The world is going through a rough time, and I'm not talking only about this pandemic. Humanity is facing massive issues and challenges from climate change to human rights and many others.
Where are our leaders?
I can see a few inspiring examples here and there, but globally I feel a huge void in leadership. It looks like we have engineered all aspect of leadership, we know what a leader should be and not be, do and not do, say and not say. However, when it comes to reality, we struggle to transform that knowledge in wisdom. And I say we and not them deliberately, because we are all in this, me first. Leaders don't come from another planet, they are not cut from a different cloth.
They are us.
So, if I want different leaders, I need to change first.
And maybe, this is what leadership is all about.
Feeling 100% responsible for creating the future I want.
