One of the central challenges
people are wrestling with today is: “Who can
they trust?” Look at current headlines and
news reports, listen to your own
conversations, and it is clear there’s a
problem. So, today, tell me which leaders you
trust. When you do, I’ll send both you and
the leader you told us about a free copy of
Make Hope Real. Let’s generate a robust list
together to demonstrate that good leaders still
do exist.
There are more than enough people who seem to have lost our trust. In sports, Roger Clemens and Tiger Woods head up the list (maybe Lance Armstrong is next). Iconic politicians like U.S. Representative Charlie Rangel now face corruption charges, while many people are uncertain about candidates in today’s primaries across the country. Captains of industry – from BP, Goldman Sachs, and Hewlett Packard, among others – have all fallen from grace. Then, there’s the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which only reminds people of their lack of faith in government leaders.
But I also know that there are good
leaders out there who people do trust. And so
I invite you to recognize those leaders, from
all walks of life – politics, sports, faith
community, government, your neighborhood, and
wherever else you find them. They do not need
to hold an official position.

I want to generate a list of
leaders we trust –think of it as an antidote
to the lack of trust that pervades so much of
society today. Join in and I’ll send you and
the leader you tell us about a free copy of
Make Hope Real.
