With continuous escalation of
human unrest in different parts of the world, acceleration
of ecological disequilibrium and erosion of human and
economic values of large business organizations and
government institutions, there is no doubt that we have
reached a very critical point in human history.
It only testifies the
management and organization principles which have evolved
over the last 200 years following the waves of industrial
revolutions and application of militaristic "command and
control" systems are not only working and they are not
helping to cultivate leaders who could navigate through the
challenges of modern times.
Form the United Nations to White House, from GM to Sony,
from World Bank to Wall Street
we will need to repurpose our thinking with a new mindset,
we need to develop the ability to throw light beyond our
current line and scope of enquiry on areas which are dark,
so that we could uncover new possibilities based on
knowledge in areas yet unexplored, both within and external
to our scope of being
