Customer Reviews
I have had the privilege of knowing John Carroll for more than 35 years. I have just finished reading "Globalization: America's Leadership Challenge Ahead". This book poses critical questions that each of us as Americans must answer regarding leadership in America in 2012 and the years ahead. America faces a need to develop leaders who are authentic, courageous, honest, congruent, bold and fearless.
This book examines the diversity of problems America faces right NOW and asks questions about what YOU and I can do right NOW to be leaders wherever we are in the grand scheme of life. The questions that are posed do not have easy answers but each of us will have our own answer to them. The central question is what YOU (I) will do today, tomorrow and into the future to be (become) a leader and towards building a leadership culture in America.
The plethora of current problems faced by America in education, global trade, government, quality of life, environmental issues and the uncertainty of the future give me many reasons to pause to consider what I can do. The book provides details on each of these problems with questions for me as reader to consider.
John offers every American a book to examine the problems we face as a country and a nation. The book explores each problem in a methodical manner which leads to the call to action questions at the end of each chapter. He asks each of us what we personally are willing to do.
When you read the book take a moment to examine the questions carefully and answer them for yourself. Your answers, my answers, our decisions to exercise leadership are the decisions that it is going to take to transform American leadership. The book asks relevant questions to each of us regarding what we can do in our own homes, neighborhoods, communities, cities, states and the world itself.
The global leadership challenge has many facets which are examined providing each reader the opportunity to look at them from their perspective and current leadership position. If America is to meet the many challenges posed by globalization leaders will be the people who provide guidance, direction, facilitation and be the catalysts for the country, companies and America's position in the world.
The questions posed by this book are aimed at America but they apply to world. Who will take the challenge? When will you begin leading? When will you be a DOER?
Globalization is compressing the world informationally and competitively. How does America compete in this hyper competitive environment? Leadership who understands the challenges, embraces them, seeks solutions and courageously unites people to meet, solve and resolve the opportunities globalization has created and continues to create.
Committed leadership that is patient, persevering and audacious will provide the necessary impetus for America to be the leader that America has been and can be. Globalization is an opportunity for new leaders to learn their skills and practice them. IF you are concerned about the future of America, take the time to read this book and decide what role you are going to play.- Barney Mayse
