A Declaration of Extreme Leadership
We, the undersigned, have devoted ourselves–personally and professionally–to changing the world, in some way, for the better.
We strive to use what we have–passion, talent, desire, resources,
imagination, time–to make a difference, to expand the rightness of
things.
We don’t consider ourselves to be naive or idealistic–although others
certainly may. We are pragmatists of the highest order: we believe
there is nothing more eminently practical than looking at the world,
asking, “how can this be better?” and then holding ourselves personally
accountable for getting it done.
We recognize that big, broad, systemic changes need to happen in our
society: policies need to shift, attitudes need to evolve, and
priorities need to change—and we’ll do whatever we can to contribute to
those transformations over time.
In the meantime,
Regardless of what is or is not happening “out there”, and regardless
of what other people are or are not doing to change things for the
better, we commit to making a difference in the way we lead TODAY.
We are business people, educators, volunteers, friends and neighbors
who share a common desire: to help each other to help each other--and we'll take a Radical Leap to do so.
We are today’s Extreme Leaders, and we invite you to join us.
