I just continue to struggle with identifying the benefit of leadership (any type) when the system itself is the problem. At what point do we just break the system/create a new system because the current one we are in does not work for everyone and wasn't ever meant to work for everyone. I see the point of leadership and want to build my skills in it but I see more of a benefit of it in a space that is inherently inclusive which is not the current system we function in. So my question I guess is, what is the next step? Continue to try to "fix" the system or start anew?
