  • If, by an act of science or magic, a small
    platoon of British people from 1945 could be
    time-travelled sixty of so years into the future,
    what would they make of us? They would be
    nudging one another and trying not to laugh.
    They would be shocked by the different colours of
    skin. They would be surprised by the crammed and
    busy roads, the garish shops, the lack of smoke
    in the air. They would be amazed at how big so
    many of us are not just tall but shamefully
    fat. They would be impressed by the clean hair,
    the new-looking clothes and the youthful faces of
    the new British.

  • But they would feel shock and revulsion at the
    gross wastefulness, the food flown here from
    Zambia, or Peru then promptly thrown out of
    houses and supermarkets uneaten, the mountains of
    intricately designed and hurriedly discarded
    music players, television sets, and fridges,
    clothes and furniture the ugly marks of painted,
    distorted words on walls and the litter
    everywhere of plastic and coloured paper. They
    would wonder at our lack of church-going, our
    flagrant openness about sex, our divorce habit,
    alongside our amazingly warm and comfortable
    houses. They would then discuss it all in voices
    that might make us in turn laugh at them
    insufferably posh or quaintly regional.
  • So although they might stare at us and ask, Who
    are these alien people? we could reply, We are
    you, what you chose to become.
  • A History of Modern Britain, Andrew Marr, 2008

  • What will the next generation choose to become?
  • What has been our role in guiding that choice?
  • Whither the moral purpose?

A Three Rs Model of Leadership
  • Reasoning
  • Creative thinking to generate new and powerful
    ideas
  • Critical and analytical thinking to ensure that
    the ideas (your own and those of others) are good
    ones
  • Practical thinking to implement the ideas and
    persuade others of their value
  • Wise thinking to ensure that the ideas help build
    a common good
  • Resilience
  • Willingness to defy the crowd in your thinking
    and actions to take the road less travelled
  • Willingness to surmount obstacles in trying to
    achieve your goals
  • Passion in your pursuits going for your goals
    with drive, motivation, and personal involvement
  • Self-efficacy belief in your ability to achieve
    your goals

12
A Three Rs Model of Leadership
  • Responsibility
  • Ethics distinguishing right from wrong
  • Wisdom forging or following a path that
    represents a common good and balances your own
    interests with those of others
  • Care genuine understanding of and empathy for
    others well-being that goes beyond an
    intellectual sense that you should care
  • Right action not only knowing the right thing
    to do, but doing it.

Health
  • 2002 obesity levels as reported by CMO
  • Obesity levels in England have tripled in the
    past two decades around 21 of men and 24 of
    women are now obese
  • Between 1996 2001 the proportion of obese
    children aged 6-15 years rose by 3.5
  • Obesity is responsible for 2,000 premature deaths
    each year in England, and reduced life expectancy
    by, on average, 9 years
  • Obesity costs the economy at least 2.5 billion a
    year including costs to the NHS and cost to
    industry through sickness absence

Why arent people more active?
  • During the period 1975/1976 to 1998/2000 the
    average distance walked per person per year fell
    from 255 miles to 189 miles. Over the same
    period, the average annual distance travelled by
    bicycle fell from 51 miles to 39 miles
  • The proportion of primary school children walking
    to school has fallen from 62 in 1989/1991 to 54
    in 1999/2001 and those travelling by care
    increased from 27 to 39. A similar pattern was
    evident for secondary school children
  • Increased car ownership
  • Fewer manual jobs
  • Increased ownership of labour-saving devices
  • Greater participation in sedentary leisure
    activities

Governance
  • I regret the lack of capacity of local
    communities to set their own autonomous goals .
    our children are now being educated in schools
    which arent really community schools in any
    meaningful sense of the word community.
  • (Michael Gove)
