Leaders of Tomorrow

I'm in Halifax for a couple days this week, meeting with partners, potential partners, and friends old and new. Over dinner tonight I was speaking with someone I'm starting to think of as a mentor/role model and he had an interesting way to speak about our work.

He said, when you're talking to people here (he meant in Nova Scotia), you need to ask them "What are we doing for our leaders of tomorrow?" Now imagine 20 years ago if more time had been spent developing their leadership abilities.

That's a powerful way to think about systemic change. Take people back to a time in their lives when leadership development would have been formative. What would be different today? Imagine our future when we do this for the leaders of tomorrow.
