Summarizing The Calling to Lead

Michael Buonocore’s (good heart, in Italian) parents prepared him well to lead through example, teaching him character and values to achieve success, while his education and experiences at Drew University reinforced them. On September 11, 2001, Michael faced personal loss, sadness and anger, but it was those leadership skills that brought Michael to discover his calling to lead; to lead himself out of despair, to lead his fellow Gen-X-ers, newly minted as “The 9-11 Generation,” to building upon the successes of the United States, along with leading his fellow citizens into discovering the importance of being Americans, as well as responsibilities, as individuals and citizens, they should proudly and honorably carry on their shoulders to protect, defend and preserve the nation. The result of Michael’s following that calling changed his own personal course to teach at his alma mater, then, following his long time freelance position at the Fox News Channel, Education Contributor to Fox, and honors received as a teacher, hosting his own prime time, political analysis program. It was that calling to lead eventually inspiring him to run for Governor of New Jersey. After seeing a lack of leadership in Washington and its reaction to a wave of terrorism to hit the United States, Michael decides to seek the presidency, facing the greatest challenges in his career and life. Will the voters of the United States of America be inspired by Michael Buonocore's calling to lead, enough to send him to the White House?
