We have to reconnect to the reasons why we got into this, before the rules and bureaucracy and politics took over our field of view.
Whether we want to or not, we are going to be on the front line of the fight for new solutions, and we are going to be useless if we are just punching the clock or wandering from election to election, or cool idea to new cool idea.
We have to critically re-assess our professions and organizations and roles, and find the fortitude to break through the walls that are keeping our communities from being successful.
We cannot be foolhardy, and we must admit that we don’t have all the answers.
But we have to be brave enough to help lead the expedition.
