A New Kind of Leadership

The global crisis of leadership of recent years is an opportunity to rethink what kind of leaders we want to see in the second decade of the 21st century.

So I want to ask you, the young generation, to envision yourself as a leader. I want to know:

"If you knew you were going to be successful as a leader in the next ten years, what kind of help and advice would you ask of today's inspirational leaders?"

I want to know because there is much talk about mentoring or coaching as an effective approach in leadership development. However, there doesn't seem to be any clarity as to the purpose of either.

I think it should be about anticipating future challenges and working together to take what is useful from the past and combining it with new and innovative ideas to create something new.

What do you think?
