How do we get the leaders we want?

with Paul Gilbert

Worldwide, democracy and political leadership is at a crossroads. Faced with rises like climate change, inequality, and war, some nations are turning towards autocratic, populist politicians who reach for easy and divisive answers to complex challenges. What we need is something very different. We need leaders who can govern for the whole of humanity, not just their nation or party, who have the courage and wisdom to tackle systemic problems, and the resilience to do so despite the opposition of vested interests. So, how do we cultivate that leadership? How do we sustain it in systems that are corrupting? And how do we work to ensure it's attractive to voters? Join us for this important discussion, in celebration of World Values Day!
