7 per cent - ANDREW FULLER

It revealed that when there is 7 per cent of a population who could be exercising leadership but
are not leading then real problems are likely on the rise. Conversely, when that 7 per cent are
encouraged to take up leadership then real positive change is coming to that population. The
research shows that as this previously non-activated group takes up leadership they uncover and
create more opportunities for others to participate and build healthy communities. It is infectious.

“True leadership comes not from the sound of a commanding voice but from
the nudging of an inner voice – from our own realization that the time has come to
go beyond dreaming to doing.”
Madeleine Albright
