Leadership in America, both in government and business, has been corroded by elitist politicians, unpatriotic Wall Street executives, and a vapid entertainment industry – all of whom have altered the cultural landscape of our country for the worse. Is it too late to pull ourselves out of the murky quagmire that threatens to make us a second-rate country? Must we go the way of so many other great civilizations which decayed from within? Principles and skill sets are introduced as a way to bring forward the best of the past that made America a great nation, not as a way of reliving the past, but as a way of finding our footing again and recapturing our vision.
