Where Are the Good Examples of Leadership?
Big initiative and big challenges require leadership…passionate determined leadership. We've seen some really bad examples of corporate leadership over the last few years. US News and World Report just published their 2nd annual special issue on leadership. America's Best Leaders profiles 20 leaders and their initiatives.
Two stand out initiatives are City Year and Teach for America. These transforming programs have equally transforming leaders behind them. Alan Khazei & Michael Brown are the leaders behind created a youth service program putting 17 to 24 year-olds to work in their cities. Wendy Kopp is the leader behind putting recent college graduates to work teaching in the toughest schools. These are just two examples profiled in the special edition. You'll also read about Sandra Day O'Connor, Wynton Marsalis, Frank Gehry, Warren Buffett, and 13 others. Enjoy the issue.

Thank you for the reminder of how many leaders there are doing such positive work. We can too easily start to focus on the media reporting on corrupt CEOs and do-nothing politicians. So many people are out there right now doing positive, world-changing work, in small and large ways.
leadership can as well emerge from manipulation and self-imposition.example of such leeadership is dictatorship where a leader remain in power through overt and covert tactics of coercion.hence people below him\her have no say.everybody should be given a chance in decision making.
i’m the leader around here
