The environmental, health and social problems we are facing are a call to rethink our relationships to each other and to the planet. As our world view evolves from separation to interconnectedness, so do our notions of leadership and personal responsibility. We are transforming the structures of the modernist age where leadership was linear and hierarchical. Hierarchies in organizations are flattening. Changes in technology empower the worker to be entrepreneurial and innovative.
Information is available to everyone.
Converting information to knowledge is the new source of wealth. Creativity, communication, relationship skills, and adaptability to change and diversity, are the core competencies for thriving in change and creating the future. Leadership now involves collaboration and co-creation. Information Technology is transforming how we communicate, and how we do business. The repercussions of this phenomena in our society have yet to be discovered.
