Some posts now from Len Schlesinger, President, Babson College, Harvard Professor, Former Vice-Chair, Limited Brands
“The leader is committed to a reality that doesn’t exist yet; everyone else is quite content in the world as it exists now.”
“Everyone shows the Martin Luther King ‘I Have a Dream Speech,’ and then sits down and wonders how they can develop a vision just as articulate and compelling. What they forget is that King took 3 years smashing the way things were before he could get people energized about an alternative future. You can’t get ‘there’ until you are very clear about aspects of ‘here’ that you find unacceptable.”
“What is unacceptable about how things are now? The fact that 2 billion people live on less than $2 per day.”
“Entrepreneurship goes a long way toward enabling the kind of future we want to have.”
