It may be sad to think of all the unprofessional and even unworthy people in positions of power around the world, yet the One Young World campaign urges one simple solution to eradicating these 'leaders.' If they are not up to the job, the rest of the population should be.
Conceived by Zurich-based ad agency Euro RSCG, the One Young World campaign centers around questionable images of these so-called images. From leaders throwing punches to leaders napping at a conference, it begs the question if they are really up to the job? Since they clearly aren't, One Young World states, "If the leaders don't lead, we must lead." Hopefully these ads will inspire people to take a stance and make a change.
