In a discussion on leadership in public life, Jan Ołdakowski highlights the lack of leaders similar to those who founded the Polish Underground State, like the soldiers of the Home Army and Warsaw insurgents. He points out that these leaders transcended party lines and focused on the public good, cultivating unity among diverse opinions. In contrast, contemporary leaders often engage in divisive debates on social media, generating ephemeral content rather than fostering a shared vision for the future.

The motivation behind launching the 'Leaders of Tomorrow' program stemmed from a recent statement made by General Zbigniew Ścibor-Rylski at the Warsaw Uprising Museum, where he urged young people to acquire skills necessary for building the Poland of their dreams. Ołdakowski reflects on this call to action, noting the evident demand among the youth for guidance on effective leadership. The program aims to equip young individuals with the necessary competencies to contribute meaningfully to society.

By addressing the skill gap in leadership and advocating for a common set of values, Ołdakowski hopes to inspire a new generation to engage in public service that rises above political disputes and focuses on collective progress. This revitalization of leadership qualities is seen as essential for the future of Poland, fostering a dynamic where civic duty and public interest are paramount.
