Does Leadership Have a Future?
Questions and Stories for Leaders
A De Pree Leadership Center Monograph
an excerpt
“For me, asking the question, 'Does leadership have a future?' opens up a large window into the work of leaders, where questions have a special function. It's a great misconception, you know, that leaders have the answers. I can tell you that isn't true. Really leaders, I think, have good questions. Questions have played a role I my life for many years. The first question is probably, 'Do we have a problem with leadership?' I don't know how you feel about it, but when I look at what's going on in business and in government and in the church and in education and elsewhere, I think we have problems of ineffective, unprepared, errant, and selfish leaders. If leadership is to have a future, are there questions we need to ask in order to find our way?”
