...What our National Planning Commission is in effect telling us here is that we need to change the way we understand leadership and adopt what we have coined: Seamless Leadership; if we are to accomplish that which has been asked of us.  Why am I mentioning all this? Because a truly seamless society, lead by seamless leaders – whether in homes, businesses or civil society – depends to a large extent on how and what we are doing to develop those who will be present when 2030 arrives... To the youth: ...We are launching an initiative right here in The Star Workplace. We call it our “You(th) the Leader Series”. What we are going to give you once a month is a lesson in leadership...

The call to leadership is not a singular event, or a pay-rise and movement from one floor to the next. Rather, this positional leadership, and the call to, must coincide with a leadership journey – your own personal journey to a point of leadership excellence. This is what we are talking about today: Leadership Journeys. We can easily identify those that have walked a path that has brought them into positions of leadership, but what about their personal leadership journeys? An associated question: in spite of their position saying they are, are these people truly leaders? To further qualify this question, we can ask: ...are these people excellent when it comes to creating movement in their own lives, and within their teams and organisation? This last question is the most important, and most revealing.
