Welcome to An Unscripted Future

Today our communities face leadership challenges and opportunities which bring an increased perception of personal responsibility and risk.

This is a time when each of us must exercise leadership to diagnose shifting situations and engage others in designing interventions that are less about achieving pre-defined outcomes, than they are about moving forward, collaboratively, toward approximate goals in an environment of increased, but managed, conflict and uncertainty.

These cycles of assessment/diagnosis, intervention and evaluation, within ever-shortening time horizons, are increasingly becoming the hallmark of our times and I welcome conversations about their impact on our lives.

Welcome to An Unscripted Future.

Cultural Competence and Peace and Justice

As we continue to create a stronger community, we are establishing partnerships across communities. I met with Park University and staff and Board of a local diversity organization this morning and we have begun to define a working partnership to further our common agendas.

This partnership will, undoubtedly, lead to additional agreements with other community organizations dealing with social justice, community building and advocacy. The challenges we each face, for limited resources and visibility, may provide us unprecedented opportunities to work together to create new capacities.
