Our Cause: A New Kind of Leader For A New World.

The global nature of the 21st century promises to unfold an unimaginable culture shift upon the world’s landscape. This emerging culture shift will initiate unprecedented change, forge immense challenges, and fuel boundless opportunities. Change begets uncertainty. Uncertainty creates challenges. Challenges generate the possibility for innovative opportunity.

We’re now living in the most demanding and perplexing times people have ever faced. Our world has become a place of both peril and promise, poverty and prosperity. We live in a complex, fast-paced, digital society. The Internet has not only become a tool that has galvanized economies together, but it has catalyzed and spread ideas around the globe, and introduced us to a plethora of diverse people, cultures, and values. Because contemporary culture is changing and a new economy is emerging, new methods and practices are needed to better inspire, coach, and resource emerging leaders of the 21st century. We need a kind of leader for a new kind of world.

One of the problems today is that many young people are “turned-off” with the notion of leadership. Many are disillusioned and want nothing to do with “being a leader.” They don’t see themselves as “leaders.” Many people I’ve talked with have told me that they have seen leaders fall daily in every sector of society. To many, leadership in the workplace just means more work, more responsibility, more pressure, and more chances that they too will fail. Leadership just means they get longer hours with less pay. “Who in their right mind would want something like that?” they surmise. But the answer isn’t “no more leadership.” Rather, the answer is we need “a different kind of leadership.”

Our world is in need of a new kind of leader. Whether in business, government, healthcare, education, media, arts and entertainment, family, and religion/church, our communities need leaders who are fully alive and healthy––from the inside out. Our communities need men and women who have more than competencies and credentials, but they possess character, courage and a strong moral compass. We need leaders who view themselves more as servants to the world, rather than rock-stars who live, work, and lead with a sense of entitlement and opulence. We need leaders who know what the right thing is to do and they do it.

We define a leader as anyone who is willing to roll up their sleeves, come out of the grandstands and out onto the playing field of life, and get involved in making the world a better place. We were created to live out on the playing field of life and not sit safety in the grandstands watching the world go by.

In order for democracy and capitalism to continue, for our country to flourish, for our work places to prosper, and for our families to be healthy, we need trusted leaders of substance, character, and insight to move into places of influence and service within our communities and work teams. We need influencers in every industry within our society. We need leaders who are students, teachers, small business owners, project managers, pastors, nurses, salespeople, stay-at-home parents, engineers, grocery clerks, and CEOs of companies. Why? Because becoming a force for good is everyone’s business.

At Leadership Alive, Inc.® we’re committed to helping leaders grow personally, expand professionally, and deepen spiritually in order to maximize their full potential, live life with passion, and serve with purpose. Our vision is to become a creative, Christ-centered, leader-building organization known for inspiring, coaching, and resourcing a new kind of leader for a new world.

We invite you to partner with us in our cause. By providing leadership training, helpful coaching, and insightful resources and educational experiences to men and women in a multitude of professions, we desire to impact and influence our culture as a force for good. Leadership is everybody’s business. Leadership matters because people matter. Join us as we attempt to speak into the fabric of our society––one life at time. Remember, the answer is not “no leadership” but rather, a different kind of leadership–– a leadership that’s alive!
