Leading Leaders

We all play a role in leadership. No one is a permanent leader. The process is constantly shifting from Discuss, to Decide to Do, utilizing Experts, Executives and Everybody Else. Experts Discuss problems and form solutions. Executives Decide on which solution will be most efficient and effective. Everybody Else must buy into the solution and participate in its enactment to better lifestyles and fuel Happiness. The Vision is a future driven by Sustainable Development for all. The Mission involves all, and is in danger, if anyone is left uneducated, driven purely by Ego or Greed. Hence, understanding Leadership or Education is vital.

A Happy Society

The ills, in society, are not recent. But has been developed over many generations of Human failures. Parental let-down, Educational disaster and failure to define success, passes on from generation to generation. Demanding acceptable behavior rather than offering guidance. Labeling persons with predetermined references; expectations and gossip without listening to this person’s opinion of themselves. Unexplained grading of individuals by others promoting a culture of caste. And judgments made based on financial power not moral integrity. A Strategic Plan, with a clear long-term vision of the desired outcome and an attainable and measurable mission, tasks by competent, objective-driven, goal achieving, talented individuals are needed to inspire hope and to better society.

Moral Leadership

Should a nation’s electorate vote, directly for its moral leader, its Head of State, its President? A President, well known for decency, with no political biased, with the power to censure and rebuke public speech and ethical behavior of persons in public office. But more importantly educating and leading the nation by example; listening and guiding public interactions. Leading the nation’s society, away from hate full acts, hate speech and hateful thoughts and towards progressive ideas, workable improvements and constructive remedies, is the mission. Clearly the nation would need to be more tolerant and open-minded on individual rights. Before addressing the nation’s wealth gap.

Mentoring and Parenting

The developing human being constantly seeks out attention. As the human being grows and matures, picking the type of attention needed, the wider society is continuously judging, as MANNERS Make-it Mankind. The young influential mind is constantly learning, using every input sense to gather lessons, and should be encouraged to produce Peace and Prosperity. Right or wrong are at the root of all lessons, surrounded by Decency and Respect. Parenting (not just making babies but delivering Moral Leadership) is about storytelling, entertaining, sharing facts and opinions. Ideas, formed and strengthened through listening to and reading others’ ideas, are followed by yet others’ efforts to; imagine, practice, test, perform, and constantly, review into better ideas.

Legislating Morality

Society is a complex and robust set of rules and regulations, policies and programs designed to benefit a majority, while protecting minorities and individual rights. Morality is about doing the right thing but who defines right from wrong. A legislature, elected by a majority, to amend laws can only tighten loopholes, when discovered, but to build a morally based society requires each and everyone to consider one another’s opinions before taking actions. Every religion preaches love, understanding and consideration for each other, but in practice, society tends to ignore all minorities and the individual.
