INTRODUCTION

Leadership is a trusted privilege given by followers.

      There is nothing as elusive as leadership. All the money in the world can make you rich, and all the power in the world can make you strong, butt thesethings can never make you a leader. You can inheritf fortunebut never leadership. Yet there is no greater need in our twenty-first century world than effective, competent leadership. Our greatest challenge is that of a leadership vacuum. The number one need all over the globe today is

not money, social programs, or even new governments. lt is quality, moral, disciplined, principle-centered leadership.

We need true leadership in our government, businesses, schools, civic institutions, youth communities, religious organizations, homes, and in every arena of lite

including the disciplines of law, medicine, science, sports,a andthe media. Yet the search for genuine leadership ise becoming more difticult. 

WHERE ARE THE TRUE LEADERS?

The complex, uncertain, uncharted waters ot the twenty-tirst century have plunged us in to a world of globbalization terrorism, economic uncertainty, famines, healtne epidemics social ranstormation, corporate compromises, moral and ethical experimentation, religious conflicts, and cultural lashes. These conditions demand the highest quality of leadership that our generation can produce. Yet I have
sat in the halls of governments and observed the struggles of today's leaders. I have sat around the table chatting with presidents of countries, and I have heard them express their
lack of ability to deal with their nations' challenges. I have talked with cabinet ministers of governments around the
world, and they openly ask for help, assistance, and advice. Many yyleaders just don't know how to lead any longer.
