On a Metis website out of Ontario – there is a website that identifies Leadership Training for Métis Youth. You can find it at http://metisyouthasleaders.blogspot.com/. The youth after a brainstorming exercise identified a leaders as:
1. Someone who is in charge
2. Cares for peoples feelings
3. Doesn’t care what people think
4. An independent person
5. Describe a healthy relationship…
6. Loving, communication, trust, take turns, have fun together, like the same things, enjoy each others companies, no violence in any way.
Okay – So there may be hope for the future if this is even the starting point for our Métis youth – I think they may exceed our present situation.

Quality leadership is not a complicated issue. Perhaps an ancient Chinese proverb says it best.
Of great leadership:
"It is an invisible hand which at the end of the day allows followers to say,'We did it ourselves.'
The key to improving the plight of our Metis citizens is quality leadership which, sad to say, is lacking in many cases.
An organization, any organization, is only as good as its leadership. One merely has to look around to see examples.
This is why the MNC and MMF unless there are significant changes at the top will remain fourth rate organizaitons.
