Here’s the video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuuTlQ0FzEU

Quoting from Nitin Nohria, one of the creators of the video, “It is my desire to inspire people of all ages and social demographics to think about leadership on a broad level, contemplate what it means to them and what individual impact they can have when it comes to leading.” To help get the video out into the world, a remix contest is being held. Download the source files and make your own version and you could win $500 or $250.
