[Dialogue] Responding to Bonhoeffer's Challenge

[Janet Sanders]

Dear Steve,

I just listened to Sarah Kay's talk which had a huge 'yes' to life woven in 
the midst of sharp arrows.  Thank you Steve and please thank Carmen. Jan

These question about leadership are part of the ICAI conference theme thread 
on 'growing a new sense of leadership'.  In mid-June we'll have more of a 
formal way of collecting insights, papers, expressions of the new leadership 
style.  I'll gather emails and recommendations from this dialogue and invite 
formal participation soon.

I've attached a short introduction to the theme's intent--

Growing a New Sense of Leadership



Statement of Intent: To strengthen the emerging new understanding of 
leadership and ways to mainstream the associated core competencies.



The old form of leader as expert is proving unsustainable, the fast pace of 
change and the speed at which new knowledge is being generated and accessed 
makes it difficult for any one individual to be effective. More important, 
current generations are demanding their voices be heard and incorporated in 
the decisions that directly affect their lives. This includes exploring the 
innovative and practical ways of inspiring local leadership emergence.

Bonhoeffer's Q: ...But how the coming generation is to live?

I'm hearing that like an Elder now with Great Nieces going to grad
school and a new Grand Daughter named Indira.

And just how do you listen to and how to speak to 20 somethings?

My grand niece, Carmen, a 20 something,  sent me the video clip below.

She was touched moved and inspired by Sarah Kay's talk. She wrote a
Graduate School Ap statement based on the video. She just got admitted
to the program. What a start!

Here's the video clip
If I should have a Daughter...

Spoken-word poetry eh, a new leadership style?
I'd like to do some spoken word poetry.

I think I'd start with JWM's Integrity paper after I stripped the 20th
C jargon off of it.

How about you?
What spoken word poetry for you from the Archives, or has it all
turned to nostalgia now?

Steve
