Conversation on Leadership and the Next Presidency
It was uplifting to see social entrepreneurship emerge as a recurring theme at last week’s Harvard Center for Public Leadership's "Conversation on Leadership and the Next Presidency,"moderated by David Gergen. Echoing Green's Cheryl Dorsey spoke on a panel that posed provocative questions on leadership to the next president.
Audience members voted (in real time) on the questions they felt were most important to ask the next president, and one of Cheryl's questions came out with the most votes: "Can you share some examples of when you were a catalyst who brought groups with polarized opinions together so that all voices were at the table?"
The conference ended on a high note, with Shannon Music, a student at the Kennedy School, discussing the importance of social entrepreneurship for the next generation of leaders, and the need for social entrepreneurs to help solve public problems on a national level.

Leadership should not be by Opinion Poll
What is leadership? It is not doing what everyone thinks you should be doing, it is doing what you think everyone should be doing. http://www.crankyvoter.com/leadership-and-the-presidency-prisioner-vs-co...
