In our daily life, we encounter people who are angry, deceitful, intent only on satisfying their own needs. There is so much anger, distrust, greed, and pettiness that we are losing our capacity to work well together.
In virtually every organization, regardless of mission and function, people are frustrated by problems that seem unsolvable.
In these troubled, uncertain times, we don't need more command and control; we need better means to engage everyone's intelligence in solving challenges and crises as they arise.
For eons, humans have struggled to find less destructive ways of living together.
When leaders take back power, when they act as heroes and saviors, they end up exhausted, overwhelmed, and deeply stressed.
For us, someone who is willing to step forward and help is much more courageous than someone who is merely fulfilling the role.
