Three paradigms of leadership

Leadership is not necessarily about setting a vision or making decision for others. Perhaps the highest form of leadership is simply about creating a vision for yourself and boldly sharing it with the world.

Declinism

Likely more than any other time in our history, humans believe our species is in decline, perhaps even careening swiftly, hopelessly toward our very demise.

The double-edged sword of possibility

Our worlds are now impossibly vast and complex. Now more than ever, we must find a way to untangle the knot of chaos and complexity all around us into something comprehensible and manageable.

Losing ourselves

Underneath all outrage, despair, hatred, cynicism, and apathy is just fear. We fear we are losing something essential, something that defines us, something that makes life worth living.

The ingredients of change

Change is not only the end results that we can witness. Change is also the processes that we undergo within ourselves, our communities, and our organizations that produce those results.

The upward spiral

Profound social transformation typically takes place over generations. Self-transformation happens over years if not decades. But growth toward those ends can happen today, perhaps even in a single moment.
