Leadership is simple, yet rarely in evidence. The proof is all around us, in nearly every city and town. The only silver lining is that this dearth of leadership means there is plenty of room for you to lead. And you don’t have to worry about what is already being done or if you are going to step on anyone’s toes because nobody is solving this. It’s yours to solve.

One day we will not need food banks... we will not need angel tree programs or to adopt families for the holidays. Parents will be able to get the gifts they need for their own kids... One day we will not need nonprofits to spring up in every city and town to help people get clean water, a bed, or school supplies for their kids.
