Like fools on a sinking boat…

As each nation is struggling to contain the virus spread while itching to reopen the collapsing economies, it is a natural question, what leadership skills are the most important in these trying times?

As a result of our new, globally integrated evolutionary circumstances the single most important skill, knowledge one needs to lead during crisis situations in our age is the understanding of how Nature’s closed, fully integrated, and interdependent systems work.

And with all due respect the present class of leaders, experts lack this skill, knowledge.

As a result, all responses, instructions, actions were uncoordinated, incoherent, individualistic, and nationalistic. And there are no signs that it would change, since now, as the socio-economic crisis intensifies, each country will blame the others, war of words, cold war, trade wars, protectionism even open wars will appear and increase as each time before when Humanity went through similar periods of crisis.

In the lack of knowledge about what total interdependence, the need for mutual responsibility means, we are like the fools who happily drill holes underneath one another while sitting on the same boat, not understanding that by this they will all draw when the boat inevitably sinks.

This is how desperately, helplessly incompetent our present leaders, experts are, as they can’t see beyond their own very narrow inner circles, immediate interest groups.

If we cannot attain, inject a global, integral vision into the world through a unique, purposeful and highly practical education method, global information share, we will blindly sleepwalk towards a global meltdown and will need a long, volatile, unpredictable transitional period to revive, rebuild the Human system on more natural, more Humane and integral foundations.
