“<br />
The opportunity <strong>for</strong><br />
a group of people to<br />
foster leadership growth<br />
among themselves and<br />
subsequently promote<br />
similar changes within<br />
the wider society.”<br />
Kofi H., RWANDA<br />
We believe the community we create can only have the perseverance and power needed to succeed if its<br />
members first attend to each other’s needs – to balance enlightened self-interest with a joint commitment to<br />
global trans<strong>for</strong>mation. This is a key differentiator.<br />
Moreover, the <strong>LEx</strong> community must be equipped <strong>for</strong> a generational moon-shot challenge – there are no silverbullet<br />
solutions to the complexity of issues underlying the root causes of reaction and resistance to modernism.<br />
There is no denying the audacity of this venture. Nor however, is there any escaping the consequence of failure.<br />
Not unlike the total-war challenge faced by the Allies in 1940 in their fight against fascism, there is no option but<br />
to prevail. That is the reality we face today. And just like the protagonists of that conflict, we must approach the<br />
challenge we face with this generations’ Manhattan Project – an unqualified exertion of resource and ef<strong>for</strong>t to<br />
assure that the values of the <strong>LEx</strong> Tenets prevail. See Appendix B: Why The Manhattan Project As A Metaphor For<br />
<strong>LEx</strong>?<br />
If we accept that fundamental change must occur within 10 years 1 , that is by 2030, then we must likewise<br />
accept that existing leadership structures, encumbered by their many legacy systems (laws, culture, language etc.)<br />
are not capable of adapting to the reality of the exponential impacts we are, and will soon face in enough time.<br />
Only a concerted global ef<strong>for</strong>t that connects capital with a purpose-built model and infrastructure to empower<br />
and mobilize the diversity of accomplished persons of all generations, can create the leadership incubator/<br />
accelerator necessary to defeat reactionism and assure the future of limitless possibilities we believe to be within<br />
humanity’s grasp.<br />
