![Leadership Today
We demand that [leaders] solve, or at least
manage, a multitude of interconnected problems
that can develop into crises without warning;
we require them to navigate an increasingly
turbulent reality that is, in key aspects, literally
incomprehensible to human minds; we buffet
them on every side with bolder, more powerful
special interests that challenge every innovative
policy idea; we submerge them in often unhelpful
and distracting information; and we force them
to decide and act at an ever faster pace.
