Allen's insight about the new demands of leadership is profound and simple. We cannot leave the development of our next generation of leaders to chance. High performing companies that want to develop from within must start now to connect with and inspire young leaders in the making. He is applying his work in a civic context through his role with the City Summit Alliance as its leadership advisor and coach.

Allen's desire to develop his insight through a network of pals is also profound and simple and we are all enjoying the process of defining our roles together and apart.

The question of who will lead next and what we need to be doing now to support them is so critical. I am very excited to be included in the discovery.
