Next Wave International™ is a faith-based communications group >which is training organizations to engage the future & move society forward in a positive direction. Founder / Director: Mal Fletcher
In the lead-up to the 2020Plus Civic and Business Leadership Event in Stoke-on-Trent, UK recently, Mal Fletcher appeared on BBC Radio talking about the role of leadership in shaping the future of cities.
'The key is not how much power the leader has in him or herself,' said Mal. 'It's about how much they're willing to empower others to be inventive.'
'Leaders articulate vision, map out strategy and marshal activity to create an environment in which people feel confident in their own ability to create and solve problems.'

Your new book is a must - having read a few of the excerpts available online, it is one I will be ordering. Gen-Xers, the future is ours. Thanks Mal for your Godly guidance and belief. Damien, Australia
Thanks for your visit to St. Louis & the thoughtful messages you brought. I am challenged to be a city on a hill, and to not be hidden.
Perhaps on your next visit, you could join in the push-up contest or drive the motorcycle. Best wishes for continued success. John, United States
