I would like to share some of my thoughts on change and leadership: We are going at full speed toward “constant change”. We need to constantly tell our children about change and get them used to it. Otherwise, there will be a lost generation at hand! There cannot be anyone who does not change. The question is, when? The leader will cause society to get to this era of constant change faster or slower. The leader’s principles should not prevent him/her from adapting to change. As a world citizen, one should pave the way for society, otherwise, the racism and discrimination that are left behind will block society. One should always be able to focus on the big picture. The real leaders will be easily remembered. They are the ones who went against the flow, the wind and who are open to innovation. You absolutely cannot be politically correct all the time and innovate! The names that I have remembered since I was a child have been Adenauer, De Gaulle, Kennedy, Gorbachov, Blair, Schroeder, Putin, Erdoğan. They have all been different. They have been on different paths and had different styles. A leader is strong. Power does not corrupt them. The fear of losing the power does. A real leader does not get carried way with the disease of power… etc. Have a nice weekend from somewhere in the air.
Love, Cuneyd.
