Behavior is taught and not all of us have the teachers

Watching children gladly smash a bug, it’s a reminder that violence is in our nature. It’s so much easier to destroy, kill, tear down than it is to build up, love, and be empathetic. Without someone to show us the way, and too many of us don’t have the kind of role models around us, we are left to discover this path on our own.

These important skills are not talents. It isn’t something we are born with. In the age of the internet, exponential technology, and AI—we need more leaders—not less. Even if all the menial tasks are done and convenience is a click away, we will still need to someone to connect us.
