What a wonderful reminder, Tristan, to leave the next generation more precious metals than counterfeit coins. In that case - as you remind us so well, we still have significant work yet to do. I agree with you that "the future belongs to the organizations that can identify and inspire the next generation of leaders."

Before we leave the next innovational leaders on their own let's:

a)      Support innovationby engaging novice leaders to share novel ideas
b)      Question and wonder more - rather than talk and deliver
c)      Target improvements together rather than critique their  mistakes
d)      Expect quality differences rather than foster traditional similarities
e)      Encourage multiple resources throughout workplace, not just reward talents at top
f)       Reflect to ask – where to from here? -  and help them to move forward daily
g)      Inspire them to treat all people as capital
h)      Model how to facilitate in ways that show how all can learn to lead
i)       View knowledge as shared, and practice genuine transparancy
j)       Teach innovation tactics as an engine forward together across silos

Those are a few more precious coins I'd like to see added to their mix. As we offer a legacy of support and trust, the next generation is predictably going to nudge us all closer to mountain peaks where new visions await us. Thanks for that inspired reminder Tristan! .
