So its been over a month since my last true update (as my father so kindly pointed out in recent comments) and I've struggled to keep up with day to day ramblings as well as these therapeutic ramblings that tend to keep me sane for brief moments in time.
Also during this time I have spent a great deal of time on the road, both in Canada and in the US. What I have found is that there is a great call for leadership across North America and that whereever I go, people are looking for the same kind of leader.
A leader that inspires us to think bigger than we are. A leader who doesn't know how to say "We can't do that". A leader who listens to all people and then makes the right decisions for most people. A leader who knows that some great leaders can also follow. A leader who knows that one great person is not as good as several great people.
I am currently re-reading From Good To Great and continue to dwell on the idea of successful businesses getting the right people on the bus. The book states that the right people are so important, you don't even have to know where the company is going - get the right peolple on the bus and you can figure it out together.
The same holds true for great leadership. Leaderships inspire other people to get on the bus and together, they will find the right path for their business, their town or their country.
Great leaders are out there. We, as citizens of the world, have a duty to inspire them to get on the bus - our future depends on it!
Until next time (I promise that time will not be so long)
