Where are the leaders...

Where the world sees a crisis I see an opportunity...

Great words good to hear...but the problem is who is "I"...do we have an "I" in the current global establishment. The umpteen crises need great financial wizards, economists, accurate anti terrorist squads, trade pundits and so on. We need them and they better be brilliant. If they are not, we would be in this glut for a long long time.

But each of these crises has a human angle, which is crying out loud for leaders who can show light to both affected and unaffected. We talk of personal leadership, but to be honest, at times of crisis its shaken and we need a beacon to home us in.

I just hope, Mr Obama stands up to this test and goes from the ordinary to great. Back home, hope changes to prayer...we have had number of brilliant leaders...we need one to emerge again.

On a different note, I saw 150 odd ISB students under one roof and silent. Trust me its a rare sight, this campus and its inhabitants buzz with energy. The silence was for a reason, it was our small gesture for Mumbai. Many student driven initiatives may follow this...and it was heartening to see my peers pour in their thoughts over them. Hope to see a few leaders emerge out of here soon.
