Nearly everyone says we know what to do, we just lack the will to do it. We lack leadership -- not telling people facts, figures, doom, gloom, and instructions.

Nearly everyone says we know what to do, we just lack the will to do it. We lack leadership -- not telling people facts, figures, doom, gloom, and instructions. That's management, which is important, but leadership -- helping people do what they want to but haven't figured out how. No leaders or people with authority understand nature and I think it's easier for scientists to learn leadership than leaders to learn science. I support more science, but it's overwhelmingly clear. We don't need more science to create a vision and strategy. People need to feel meaning and purpose, to have an expectation of success. That comes from what leaders work on -- stories, images, role models, systems, emotions, and culture. So I focus on leadership -- bringing what people like Mandela, Eisenhower, Ali, and Deming brought but I don't see anyone doing today. My TEDx talks https://joshuaspodek.com/tedx https://joshuaspodek.com/tedx and podcast illustrate what I'm working on, though I've advanced a lot since then.
