New generations represent the future development of a country. Their role is to challenge the establishment, helping present-day leaders to revise their thinking and long-term planning. The key to success is that youth is able to pose such challenges in a constructive way (not always possible).
One way of doing it is to challenge the youth by asking these simple, short, open questions, such as:
– What do we hope to achieve for the country/business/organization in the next five to ten years?
– What are the consequences and alternatives to doing this?
– Why was this decision taken?
Youth can always make a choice between leading evolution or leading a revolution. The latter is exciting, but more people get hurt.
