| Global
discontent, anger, fighting, and killing is
active in most nations across the world.
It varies in magnitude with less killing in
North America and much killing in the Middle
East, but frustration and anger are ubiquitous. Today's
anger and resultant desire to hurt and kill
other people has been unleashed nearly
everywhere because cultures are bereft of leadership. |
| Today, those thrust into leadership roles have
little understanding of operations and functions
that they are responsible for, in charge of, and
should be competently directing. |
| Today's leadership cares not for consequences
that can and do damage their institutions. Today's leaders too often operate as though they
are
insulated professionally and personally from any negative consequences of their incompetent,
unconcerned methods. |
| Today's leaders are not leaders. They
simply occupy leadership positions. Not
until leaders fill leadership positions and lead
with competent integrity will their staffs
operate with integrity. |
| It appears unlikely, but leaders must
arise to fill the leadership voids in finance,
industry, politics, and throughout our culture.
These new leaders must operate with competent
integrity along with personal and institutional
respect and concern for long-term consequences. If they fail to emerge, we will each follow the incompetent,
unconcerned, sloppy figures we appear to adore
directly down to our ultimate demise. |
| None of us is wholly immune in this financial,
cultural and political down-drafting void. |
