The lasting effect of this idea’s process would be widespread. The asking and answering of these questions would facilitate and support both children and adults in thinking about the future and the effects that their decisions produce. Children are future leaders, but also embody what current leaders have already lived through (i.e. childhood) and possibly what they have forgotten. In essence, it would be two-way learning where future leaders (children) would learn about current leaders (adults), while current leaders would learn or re-learn about the diverse communities that they are leaders in. A goal should be a collaboration between the public sector, school districts, education foundations, and leaders’ organizations. With schools being the starting point for implementation, educational stakeholders like teachers, administration, parents and other family members would hopefully be inspired to support and nurture students in thinking about the future and their role as a future leader.

A more tangible outcome would be a book and even a video that compiled the questions and responses. The book could be showcased in libraries and bookstores (perhaps with proceeds going to schools), while the video could be sent to news organizations and housed on the internet for a wider audience to see. Overall, the proposed idea could be turned into a model for carrying out on a smaller or larger scale. It could easily be implemented within an organization, at the city or county level, the state level, nationally, or even internationally.
