The world is currently experiencing a leadership vacuum. It needs people who lead business with integrity, who are not motivated by greed, but by principles of sustainability and who treat clients and staff with respect and dignity. I am sure that there are many such leaders dotted around the world, but too few. Every country in the world needs business leaders who view their respective roles as “callings” and who view positional influence as an opportunity to serve.
It is not just business leaders who should take heed of examples of profound leadership, but politicians and other institutional leaders would also do well to follow such leadership modelling in the way that they govern countries and their respective organisations. Political “heroes” are few and far between – most politicians, once elected into position, spend all of their energy on “staying elected”, with little or no energy being applied to service delivery and keeping their electoral promises.
Stretch For Leaders has been created with the above in mind – providing all leaders with the principles and tools of profound leadership, the same of which, when applied effectively, create the environment for growth and the possibility of success for everyone.
The world is currently experiencing a leadership vacuum – are you going to stand up and be counted?
