Most of the people who read this are over 30. Many are leaders. We have a hugely important role to play in our culture right now. The video below may or may not have a political agenda behind it, but whatever your political beliefs, the truth is , the next generation is indeed more educated, more concerned, more politically involved, and ready to do something to change the world. We as leaders need to be aware of what our culture is doing and how we can best be an influence. We need to read, and listen, and watch and care, and be trustworthy…and learn to trust. The next generation is here and is speaking out. We need to hear them. and they need to hear us. Which means we need to have something to say. Which involves wisdom. Which is a gift from God. Which we need to be asking for.
Watch this.

Great thoughts Lanny. Definitely agree with your words- I also think though that this generational shift - Signals the very change of leadership itself.
No more is leadership one guy upfront. Now leadership is a group of friends sitting around a camp fire, equally sharing insights.
It’s no longer the sage on the stage, it’s now fellow traveler learning together.
I think this means as leaders we ought to encourage and empower the young generation, instead of undermining their ability to lead and change the world.
That’s also why Seth Godin’s book “Tribes” is so important to understanding leadership in this new era. ‘Generation We’ lives and breathes tribes and either we’ll harness that or be left outside of ‘the circle of trust.’
