Dear future leaders,
we just have a few short questions.
To start with an easy one,
why would we want to be led by you?
What is your purpose?
Why do you do what you do?
What makes you different?
What difference will you make?
Will you
excite us,
energise us,
empower us?
Will you
create clarity,
common ground,
community?
Will you
celebrate our strengths,
recognise our contributions,
treat us as your equals?
Will you
help us take risks,
make some mistakes
learn, and try again?
Will you
support us to overcome
our own limitations
about what we can be or do?
Will you
break down barriers,
shatter glass ceilings,
dismantle hierarchies?
Will you
cover us in a tight spot,
stand up for what’s right,
speak truth to power?
