The Search for Moral Leadership in the 21st Century: Lessons from History
Humanity faces a crisis of moral leadership. Nearly half of the world's population lives in authoritarian regimes or semi democratic countries. Totalitarian leaders destroy individual rights with fear, lies, terror and nationalism.
The result is war. Democracy is challenged to maintain freedom in a spirit of honest, transparent, and ethical decision-making. Unless we choose selfless, honorable, competent and assertive leaders who inspire trust and temper anxiety, we sow the seeds of tyranny and our own destruction. Democracies do not fight democracies.
Freedom loving people value others and cherish diversity as part of the natural development of human beings. We can solve the problems of our planet only in an atmosphere of liberty and respect for human rights especially in this century dominated by social media and lightning speed changes in technology.
