WHY PIC?
The United States is at an inflection point. Think of the U.S. as the elephant. How do you eat an elephant? In this case, one state at a time. PIC was created to assist in the building of a New South.
A STORY
Sand dunes are constantly changing; as does the world. How do we keep up? We don't. We have to continuously make adjustments so that when changes do occur, they don't drastically and negatively influence how we live. One theory as to why this country is at an inflection point now is that we failed to make the incremental adjustments necessary to keep pace with constant, consistent changes. Now, we are forced to make daring choices in leadership and implement progressive policies, to recover from the deep rifts which have been exposed.
Have you read The Emperor's New Clothes? What about The Giving Tree? Though they are both everybody books, these are both must reads. They remind us of the moral compass where upon servant leadership must operate, explain how leadership is commonly viewed and how a growing universe of constituents feel.
