Mahatma Gandhi recognized an essential component of effective leadership: “We must become the change we want to see in the world”. Leaders should lead by example in a manner that reflects their ideals and hopes for the future. However, today we see many modern leaders abusing their positions and manipulating the system for their personal gain. It is a far cry from the vision that Gandhi put forth. Meanwhile, a new generation is discovering its voice, with protestors demanding from their leaders, transparency and a new approach to leadership. The Reut Institute, a non-partisan non-profit organization based in Tel Aviv is taking a leadership role by setting the stage and acting as a strategic agent for change in Israel and the Jewish World. As I walk through Reut’s hallway and look at the black and white photographs of historic Israeli leaders hanging on the walls, I cannot help but feel a great sense of motivation and inspiration. I am proud to be a part of Reut’s team, consisting of young innovators who work with key decision makers to effect long-term change.
