100%. A lot of people ("leaders") are afraid to compromize their immediate personal security for the greater good - which ironically, will only bolster their personal security. My personal belief is that: a.) We (in the west) need to seek less cowardly leaders, and b.) We (global engineers and lower-level leadership) need to right the course by taking action. In my own industry, I'm in a position to influence the type of engines/power sources used in global shipping. That's only 2% of global harmful emissions, but if I can be a part of reducing that to 0%, I will be happy. I do that all day long, and trust me, I get sideways stares and rediculous remarks that what I'm proposing is impractical. It's constant, but I don't care. The math is the math, and my response is "prove that I'm wrong." They never can. Truth is - middle tier leadership is going to get the job done.
