In today's newspaper (Chicago -AP)...

Wealth is top priority for today's youth.

Wealth and fame are top goals for today's 18-25-year-olds. Most important goals in life?

To Get Rich = 81%
Be Famous = 51%
Help Needy = 30%
Leader to community = 22%
[Source: Pew Research Center]

How do we inspire young people and others who have the gift of leadership, to lead?

I am concerned and interested in inviting, affirming others to leadership. How do we transform the current understanding of what leadership is? How do we invite those who are in current "leadership" positions to step aside and allow authentic leadership?

There are a number of good intented folks with very big hearts in positions of leadership who ought not be there. That is not their strength or vocation. Let's begin some dialogue and create awareness of what true authentic leadership is as demonstrated by a number of those who have gone before us.

Peace, jn
