Blog Entry: Transformational Leadership

The world today is seeing a great deal of change in how we solve problems across borders. The old focus on national governments and one-state solutions to problems have faded away. However, there is no clear idea of what will replace this kind of governance. International organizations may be based around states. However, they may also be based on corporations, individuals, and even other organizations. With innovation constantly shifting how you think about the world, it would seem that you live at a time that is ripe for change.
