Three newspapers a day, magazines, letters and books. You name it and I will try to find time to read it. There is a constant pile of material that demands my attention.
One of the books that I just finished was "Where have all the Leaders Gone?" which certainly asks an interesting question. Where are they? We think of great leaders from the last century: the Roosevelts, Kennedy, Trudeau, King and the list goes on. If I had time, I would have no trouble filling the page with names. That is not quite so easy now. Some of the names will be of people who will be in court for various charges. Madoff will obviously be the most notorious.
Lee Iacocca is one of the leaders but he was certainly well paid and that may be one of the reasons that leaders are not emerging since they can ask for more elsewhere or simply access funds like AIG leaders.
Worth reading his book and asking some of the same questions that he asks. Hopefully leaders will emerge. Obama is one but he can not change things alone.
