Friday

Yesterday evening couple dozen mobile phone notifications alerted me about Nice attack: At least 84 killed by lorry at Bastille Day celebrations.  Reading the headline causes any person to be shocked. Reason behind the attack is unknown yet people jump to wild conclusions.  Doubt going to be able to understand actions taken or reasons why.  Moral compass changes all the time world is not black and white.  Answers are not always neat simple solutions but questions can be complex unsolvable.

Act should be condemned, tragic loss of life. 

Friday night

Another series of mobile phone notifications alerting me about ‘Turkey: Mass arrests after coup bid quashed, says PM’

Last couple of weeks we had series of shocks hit the world.  Global nature of the world means we hear about events in minutes over hours/days.  Ian Bremmer coined the term G Zero world to describe what happening.  Wiki definition and page can be found here.

The term G-Zero world refers to an emerging vacuum of power in international politics created by a decline of Western influence and the domestic focus of the governments of developing states.

Don’t believe world is has become shaken with instability.  Just the result of this power vacuum, resulting in serious strain on status quo.  Facing many challenges which has me asking questions on leadership.

What is leadership?

What leadership is required?

What traits are required?

Looking for answers when comes to Labour leadership contest.
